Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force variations to the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982 made by the Secretary of State on 21st June 1997.
The Appendix sets out the variations. The principal variations are as follows.
Provisions relating to the calculation of an illustrator’s or co-author’s share of Public Lending Right in respect of a book are modified. Where an illustrator’s or co-author’s share in Public Lending Right in respect of which there are more than one authors (disregarding a translator, editor or compiler) exceeds 50 per cent. the Registrar will need to be satisfied that it is reasonable in relation to that author’s contribution to the book.
The duration of the Public Lending Right in respect of any book and the period during which the right may be transferred is extended to seventy years.
The minimum eligibility for payment due in respect of Public Lending Right for each financial year is increased to £5.
Schedule 2, which groups service points, is amended in consequence of local government re-organisation and set out in consolidated form.
