The Public Lending Right Scheme 1982(1) (“the Scheme”) was brought into force on 14^th June 1982;

The Scheme has been varied(2);

The Secretary of State, after consultation with the representatives of authors and library authorities and of others who appear likely to be affected, has further varied the Scheme;

Accordingly the Secretary of State, in whom the power conferred by section 3(7) of the Public Lending Right Act 1979(3) is now vested(4), makes the following Order in exercise of that power:

(1)

The Scheme is set out in the Appendix to the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982 (Commencement) Order 1982 (S.I. 1982/719).

(2)

Variations to the Scheme have been brought into force by subsequent Orders. Appendix 2 of S.I. 1990/2360 sets out the Scheme as varied by amendments made on 26 November 1990. Further variations of the kind brought into force by this Order have since been made by S.I. 1992/3049, 1993/3049, 1996/3237, 1999/3304, 2000/3319, 2001/3984, 2002/3123, 2003/3045, 2004/3128, 2005/3351, 2006/3294, 2009/3259, 2011/54, 2012/63, 2012/3123, 2015/7, 2016/15, 2017/7 and 2018/17.

1979 c. 10. There are amendments to this Act, but none are relevant to this Order.

(4)

The functions under section 3(7) of the Public Lending Right Act 1979 were originally vested in the Secretary of State and, after a series of transfer of functions orders (S.I. 1979/907, 1981/207, 1983/879, 1984/1814 and 1986/600), they were transferred back to the Secretary of State by virtue of article 3(1) of and Schedule 1 to the Transfer of Functions (National Heritage) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/1311).
