Government Response

HM Government
Rejected
The government is confident that the Creator Remuneration Working Group has an adequate and appropriately broad representation from across the music industry, including major and independent labels, publishers, platforms and organisations representing creative talent. Having a size-limited membership for the working group has so far ensured productive conversations, where representatives from across the music sector, including the music creator community, have had the opportunity to engage constructively on issues related to creator remuneration. As the working group continues to progress, we will ensure that all members are given adequate opportunity to express their views. Where appropriate, and with agreement of the members, we will invite other representatives to present or assess evidence at different points throughout the process. The government will continue to monitor the progress made on this issue and adapt the group if it feels it is necessary.
