Lord Watts Excerpts

Tuesday 27th October 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath (Lab)]

Noble Lords will understand that we are in contact with the EU Commission. I have no doubt that the Government are always keen to work on this and to learn how other Governments are progressing these matters.

[Lord Watts (Lab)]

My Lords, would not one way of building confidence in the creative industries be for people who have already stolen material to pay some compensation for the things that they have done over the years?

[Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath (Lab)]

I am so sorry; I did not hear the end of my noble friend’s question.

[Lord Watts (Lab)]

I am asking why people who have stolen material should not pay compensation to those from whom they have stolen it.

[Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath (Lab)]

I might have to write to my noble friend with the answer to that.
