HC Deb 08 June 1976 vol 912 c647W
23. Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his policy with regard to setting a date for the initiation of a scheme for public lending rights for authors.

Miss Margaret Jackson

The Bill provides for a draft scheme to be put before Parliament after the Act comes into force. The naming of the appointed day will depend on settling the details of the scheme and on the availability of resources.
