HL Deb 02 November 1988 vol 501 c254

56 Clause 59, page 22, line 29, leave out 'showing'.

6.45 p.m.

Lord Strathclyde

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 56. the exhibition of an artistic work is not a restricted act either under existing law or in the Bill. This means that the showing of a film including an artistic work cannot infringe the copyright in the artistic work. The word "showing" is therefore not needed in Clause 56(3).

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 56.—(Lord Strathclyde.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
