Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department is taking steps to improve remuneration for musicians.
The Government is committed to maximising the potential of the UK music industry and its musicians.
In May 2023, alongside the publication of an industry-led agreement on metadata, the Government announced it would be establishing an industry working group to explore further issues around creator remuneration.
We expect to shortly publish the terms of reference and membership, with the first working group meeting expected to take place soon thereafter.
