(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force on 3rd February 2015 a variation of the Public Lending Right Scheme (“the Scheme”) made by the Secretary of State on 5th January 2015.
The Scheme provides for payments to be made to authors based on the number of times their books are lent out by public libraries. The effect of the variation commenced by article 2 of this Order is to increase the rate per loan as set out in article 46(1)(a) of the Scheme from 6.20p to 6.66p. 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.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on business and the voluntary sector is foreseen.
