HL Deb 02 November 1988 vol 501 c290

110 Clause 110, page 46, line 14, after 'only', insert '— (a)'.

111 Page 46, line 15, at end insert ', or (b) works made by, or by employees of or commissioned by, a single individual, firm, company or group of companies. For this purpose a group of companies means a holding company and its subsidiaries, within the meaning of section 736 of the Companies Act 1985.'.

Lord Strathclyde

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 110 and 111. It was never intended that tribunal jurisdiction should extend to a licence offered by a single company concerning collected works produced by their employees. Amendments Nos. 110 and 111 will ensure that this does not occur.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 110 and 111.—(Lord Strathclyde.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
