Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
We have been given a history lesson and told this is a long-standing practice. The Government has a long-standing commitment to avoiding implementing this scheme. The only reason it is introducing measures at this stage is that it has been found in breach of European law, as the Minister of State said. It did not implement the public lending right, PLR, scheme in the past.
