The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will publish the new policy on copyright assertion.

Answered by Ian Murray

We have published a progress update on our position on AI and copyright on 15 December 2025. By March 18 2026, we will publish a comprehensive report on the key issues and a full economic impact assessment, alongside the government’s response to the consultation.

We remain committed to providing clarity for all stakeholders, and to ensuring that the UK’s copyright framework continues to support the success of our creative industries while fostering the benefits that AI can bring.
