answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government agrees that creators should be fairly remunerated. The Government is taking forward work to achieve this, including a programme considering the remuneration issues related to music streaming.</p><p>DCMS Ministers and officials have been engaging with the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS) on their proposals for a Smart Fund. It is encouraging to see proposals from the sector to support creators and fair remuneration. However introducing statutory levies of this nature can present significant challenges, including the risk that costs would be passed to consumers. This is of particular concern in the context of wider cost of living challenges. We encourage DACS to work with the tech industry to explore options for industry-led solutions.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 23/06/2022 08:21:10 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
