uin	HL2998
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>Decisions about image licensing and fees, and related copyright, are operational matters for the national museums as arm’s length bodies of government. As such, we do not hold data on the amount of income raised by image fees, on licences offered or the impact of fees on academic use.</p><p> </p><p>Details of the process for requesting permission to reproduce images can be found on the respective websites of the national museums. The policies of both the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery for example, allow some print reproduction of images for scholarly purposes free of charge, and several national museums offer or may offer a discount where image reproduction is for an academic purpose. Others, such as the British Museum and Science Museum, allow images to be used by the public under a Creative Commons licence. Additionally, many national museums have demonstrated significant efforts towards digitising their collections and in doing so are making our national collections accessible to the nation in new ways.</p><p> </p><p>National museums are bound to provide free, in person, access to the permanent collections as a condition of government Grant-in-aid (GIA) funding and this policy has been a great success. Provided this condition is met, national museums are permitted and encouraged to pursue commercial activities, which may include image licensing. Such activities are an important supplement to museums in supporting their objectives to facilitate participation for people of all ages and backgrounds.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde grouped question UIN HL2904 HL2905 HL2906 HL2907 HL2908 HL2909 HL2997 question first answered 16/11/2017 16:08:30 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

A new online self-exclusion scheme called ‘Gamstop’ is due to be launched by spring of next year. The scheme will allow customers to self-exclude from all British licensed operators in a single step and will significantly strengthen the self-exclusion arrangements available for online gamblers.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 16/11/2017 16:45:36 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
