HC Deb 17 October 1972 vol 843 c54W
Mr. Ronald King Murray

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she now proposes to introduce legislation to give public lending rights to authors; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The comments of the organisations consulted on the report of the working party appointed by my noble friend the Paymaster-General are now being carefully studied. A statement will be made as soon as possible, but I cannot yet give a date.
