The Public Bodies (Abolition of the Registrar of Public Lending Right) Order 2013

The Public Bodies Act 2011 (c. 24) makes provision for the abolition, by order, of any body or office specified in Schedule 1 to that Act and an associated transfer of functions from the body or office to an eligible person as defined in section 1 of that Act. One such office in Schedule 1 is the Registrar of Public Lending Right (“the Registrar”). The British Library Board (“the Board”) is an eligible person by virtue of section 1(3)(b) of the Public Bodies Act 2011, as a person other than a Minister exercising public functions.
