Burnham bows out with digital declaration.
New Health Secretary makes final speech at MW event
By Robert Ashton
Andy Burnham has made his parting shot to the music industry as Culture Secretary by revealing that the long-awaited Digital Britain report is not expected to ramp up punitive actions against filesharers when it is published later this month.
Burnham, who was named as Health Secretary in a Cabinet reshuffle last Friday, appeared at Music Week's inaugural Making Online Music Pay conference the day before, giving what turned out to be his final address to the business.
Ben Bradshaw, formerly Health Minister, takes over at DCMS, with PPL head of government relations Dominic McGonigal acknowledging the new Culture Secretary is something of an unknown factor.
"It just shows you don't put all your eggs in one basket," he says. "This isn't about talking to one person. It's about going to Westminster and getting them to understand the creative industries."
McGonigal adds that Burnham, who has forged close links with the music industry on issues such as term extension and filesharing, will be sorely missed.
