Europe is where the decision finally lies.
Select Committee chairman John Whittingdale gives his reaction to the Government's response to his inquiry into new media and the creative industries.
How do you feel?
Well, it's what I expected.
Is it?
Yes, I think Shaun Woodward's response to my question in the House of Commons when I asked him about this told me where the Government was. I'm not surprised by the response, but I am disappointed. [In oral questions to the then Under Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on May 21, Woodward told Whittingdale and others that "we are not persuaded that extending copyright for performers is in their best interests".]
Do you think the timing of the Government reshuffle, just weeks after your report came out, played against you and the pro-term extension lobby?
Well, there is a case that there is a new Secretary of State [for culture, James Purnell] and perhaps he is missing an opportunity. But I've had a meeting with Purnell and he didn't seem persuaded. It is disappointing.
