This Order brings into force on 23rd December 2004 a variation to the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982 made by the Secretary of State on 1st December 2004.

The effect of the variation is to increase the rate per load as set out in article 46(1)(a) of the Scheme from 4.85p to 5.26p. The rate per loan is the sum attributable to each qualifying loan for the purpose of calculating the amount payable in respect of loans of a particular book by public libraries.
