38. Mr. Squire

the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received since his recent White Paper on the proposed levy on blank audio tapes.

Mr. Channon

So far, about 80 written representations have been received on the proposals for a levy on blank audio tape set out in the White Paper "Intellectual Property and Innovation", Cmnd 9712. Copyright interests have in general supported the introduction of a levy. Representations opposing a levy have come from the Tape Manufacture Group, the National Consumer Council and the Royal Institute for the Blind, among others.
