HC Deb 06 February 1986 vol 91 c251W
Mr. Watts

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on progress towards the introduction of the proposed levy on blank audio and video tapes.

Mr. Pattie

The Government are still considering whether to introduce a levy on blank audio and video tapes. Our conclusions will be announced in a White Paper dealing with copyright law, which is now in the final stages of preparation.
