Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to ensure that government departments adhere to licensing requirements related to the scanning and photocopying of documents where secondary royalties may be due to the author or creator of such documents.

The Cabinet Office currently coordinates the purchase of a cross-Government licence on behalf of Departments, however each department is responsible for its own licensing adherence.
