Detail of feedback received
DCMS ran a 4 week public consultation on the British Library Board’s recommendation to increase the rate per loan from 9.55 pence to 11.26 pence. The consultation ran from 28 October to 24 November 2021 for the 2020 to 2021 scheme year. A consultation letter was sent to major groups representing the interests of authors, library authorities and other stakeholders in the public library sector in the UK, and to the devolved administrations.
We received 12 responses, and all were supportive of the proposal to increase the PLR rate per loan to 11.26 pence. The government therefore concluded that stakeholders welcomed the proposed increase to the rate per loan and will proceed with this increase.
