§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will seek to amend the law relating to copyright to accommodate the products of the microchip.
§ Mr. EyreI have been asked to reply.
Following a comprehensive review of the whole of copyright law, I expect to publish within the next few months a consultative document setting out legislative proposals and inviting public comment. The document will deal with the relationship of copyright to modern computer technology, including the microchip.
