The leader of the House of Commons has said he was "disappointed" that singer Adele's acceptance speech was cut short at the Brit Awards.
She had just been handed best album prize when she was told to stop speaking on Tuesday night because the awards ceremony was behind schedule.
She has since attacked record industry "suits" for the perceived slight.
Sir George Young told MPs he "shared" Adele's unhappiness over the affair but congratulated her on her achievement.
In the House of Commons, Conservative MP Therese Coffey, told Sir George: "I'm sure that you will be aware of the government's efforts to promote exports...
"Will you join me in congratulating in winning the Grammies and call for an urgent debate on how music contributes to our great export growth."
Sir George replied: "I join my honourable friend in congratulating Adele on her many achievements and I share her disappointment that her speech was cut short by what she calls 'the suits'.
"The music industry is an important export industry. My honourable friend is absolutely right and we should do all we can to encourage it."

Olympics Closing Ceremony to Be a 'Symphony' of All Things British
The closing ceremony for 2012 London Olympics will be themed "A Symphony of British Music" -- with organizers promising a hit-packed journey from classical composer Edward Elgar to Grammy soul diva Adele.
"We go from -- without saying we've booked anyone - Elgar to Adele," said music director David Arnold.
Olympic officials did not say whether Adele, Britain's hottest musical export of the moment, had been asked to take part. The singer-songwriter's album "21" has spent a full year on the charts, winning six Grammys earlier this month, including album of the year. Adele also won two trophies Tuesday at the Brit music awards.
The games start July 27.

Absolutely. Literally billions of people watch the opening ceremonies, it is a huge opportunity. Home country Olympics are all about bolstering national pride as well, so I'm sure she'll do it.

You know you're a pretty big deal when government officials are stanning for you in the biggest political forum in the country in place of debating political reforms.

I've never listened to their songs. 
A collab with P!nk or Amy Lee (moreover she's a big stan of Adele, 21 is her favorite album from 2011) could rock !

Adele's "21" will most certainly linger atop the chart for a 22nd week -- marking the longest run at No. 1 for an album since Prince and the Revolution's "Purple Rain" soundtrack reigned for 24 weeks in 1984 and 1985.

Why does he keep posting that as if people are worried?  The fact that the person bought the CD and burnt it is laughable. The money is in her pockets and sales are added to Soundscan. ***kanye shrug***
