Welcoming a vote in the Lords this evening in favour of Baroness Kidron\u2019s amendments to the Data (Use and Access) Bill strengthen our gold standard copyright law and make it enforceable, News Media Association chief executive Owen Meredith said: \u201cThis evening, peers have rightly given their strong backing to the creative industries by voting decisively for measures proposed by Baroness Kidron, which support continued growth of great British cultural assets and industries, while also supporting the growth and deployment of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
