HL Deb 16 October 1984 vol 455 cc969-70
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they propose to bring forward proposals to compensate the originators of material illegally copied on cassettes.

Lord Lucas of Chilworth

Further consultation is necessary before a decision is made on the question of remuneration for owners of copyright in material copied on cassettes. The Government are therefore now preparing a consultative document on the matter of a levy on blank video and audio tapes.
