Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if she will publish minutes of the AI and Copyright Code of Practice Working Group meetings in (a) 2023 and (b) 2024.

The working group on copyright and AI met under terms of reference available at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-governments-code-of-practice-on-copyright-and-ai. The group did not meet in 2024.

In the interests of enabling candid discussion of the issues, the terms of reference state that summary notes will not be published. In the interests of commercial confidentiality and as the consideration of these policy issues is still ongoing, I do not consider it appropriate to publish notes of these meetings at this time.
