Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 75 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides that copies of broadcasts and cable programmes of a designated class may be made for the purpose of being placed in an archive maintained by a designated body without infringement of copyright. The Copyright (Recording for Archives of Designated Class of Broadcasts and Cable Programmes) (Designated Bodies) Order 1991 designated five bodies and a class of broadcasts and cable programmes for the purposes of that section.

This Order re-enacts that Order and designates the British Medical Association, the British Music Information Centre and the Imperial War Museum as further bodies.
