§ Lord Lester of Herne Hillasked the Chairman of Committees:
Whether it is intended that the administration of parliamentary copyright should be done by HMSO; and, and if so, upon what terms will this be done; and, if not, what is intended in this respect.
§ The Chairman of CommitteesParliamentary copyright is administered by HMSO at present. Decisions have not yet been taken about the future administration of parliamentary copyright, in the event of HMSO being privatised. Since part of HMSO may remain in the public sector to administer Crown copyright, one option is for that part to be invited to administer parliamentary copyright under agreements with both Houses.
