Culture: Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of the proposal by culture industry organisations for a Smart Fund to ensure creators and performers are paid for their work.
- Answer
-
The Government agrees that creators should be fairly remunerated, and it is encouraging to see proposals from the sector to support creators and fair remuneration. Department for Culture, Media and Sport Ministers and officials have been engaging with the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS) and other interested parties on their proposal for a Smart Fund and I wrote to them last month.
Introducing statutory levies can present significant challenges and we encourage the campaign to work with the tech industry to explore options for industry-led solutions.
