	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government has no plans. Following the government’s decision to repeal Section 73 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) conducted a technical consultation which looked at the broadcast rights market, the position of rights holders and whether new regulations would need to be introduced following the repeal. The consultation concluded that there was no need for new regulations as there are already extensive commercial rights agreements in place between relevant parties, which would be capable of factoring in new rights.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 28/11/2018 15:18:42 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
