MUSIC MOGULS PICK WOMENS POCKETS BUT NOT THEIR BRAINS - BURT

May 30, 2006 12:00 PM

Research conducted by Liberal Democrat Women and Equalities Spokesperson, Lorely Burt MP, shows that under 10% of Directors of the 4 major global record companies are women, despite a recent report illustrating that "technology-savvy" women are driving the online music market.

Commenting, Ms Burt said:

"Women spend longer listening to music than their male counterparts, discover more music and listen to more podcasts and yet are massively under-represented in the boardroom.

"Despite a huge boom in the number of women reading music magazines, the corporate side of the industry is deprived of their influence.

"I call on the music industry to acknowledge the financial contribution of their customers and remove roadblocks that prevent business women fulfilling their ambition in the sector."

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
