Additional legal advice is obtained from GLD on an hourly rate basis and the Department regularly engages private sector legal services from Counsel and external legal firms. Hourly rates are not available without reviewing individual invoices from the various legal service providers, which would incur disproportionate cost. Advice from counsel is, save for very limited and exceptional circumstances, provided at rates which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/attorney-generals-panel-counsel-practical-information#rates.</p><p> </p><p>(b) This information is not held centrally and to collect this information would incur a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 22/01/2019 16:48:05 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>A number of EU Member States operate their own public lending rights schemes which enable payments to be made to eligible rights holders for the lending of their work. However, these are not directly reciprocal to the UK’s Public Lending Right (PLR) Scheme, and decisions on whether UK-resident authors qualify for these will be for each Member State to make.</p><p> </p><p>The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), which represents UK authors in registering and claiming payments from lending rights schemes in Europe and elsewhere, has indicated that it supports the UK's PLR scheme remaining open to residents of EEA states. ALCS believes that this will help it to encourage relevant organisations responsible for lending rights schemes in EEA states to allow UK-resident authors to benefit from such schemes after the UK leaves the EU.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 13/12/2018 13:02:15 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
