HC Deb 16 November 1948 vol 458 cc22-3W
69. Mr. Hale

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that under the provisions of the Copyright Acts claims are now being made on small music teachers and others for royalties on the use of music for elementary tuition; and whether he is prepared to consider an amendment of the law.

Mr. Bottomley

Licences for the public performance of copyright musical works are matters to be settled by agreement between the copyright owners and the prospective users, but if my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind and will furnish me with full details, I will look into it.
