Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides for the copyright protection in the United Kingdom of works and other subject-matter originating in Singapore. No provision is made in respect of citizens of Singapore because they are already qualified persons under the Copyright Act 1956 by reason of being British subjects (that is, Commonwealth citizens) within the meaning of that Act. The Order extends to the dependent countries of the Commonwealth to which the 1956 Act has been extended, with the exception of Bermuda and Gibraltar.
