Letter of correction from Mr. Siôn Simon:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for West Bromwich, East (Mr. Watson) on 14 December 2009. Neither Ministers nor officials in my Department have met representatives from the Federation Against Copyright Theft or the Open Rights Group in the last 12 months. However, I had informal discussions with the Open Rights Group at the C&binet Conference held on 26-28 October.
The correct answer should have been:
Mr. Simon: Ministers have met with representatives from the British Recorded Music Industry (which we understand to mean the British Phonographic Industries) on six occasions in the last 12 months. A Private Secretary or other officials were present at five of the six meetings. Ministers also met representatives from the Featured Artists Coalition on one occasion. In addition, officials met bilaterally with representatives of the BRMI on three occasions, and were involved in several wider meetings.
Neither Ministers nor officials in my Department have met representatives from the Federation Against Copyright Theft or the Open Rights Group in the last 12 months. However, I had informal discussions with the Open Rights Group at the C&binet Conference held on 26-28 October.
