Section 137

This section applies to— so far as it provides for the grant of licences, or is a licence, authorising the making by or on behalf of educational establishments for the purposes of instruction of reprographic copies of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or of the typographical arrangement of published editions. a licensing scheme to which sections 118 to 123 apply (see section 117) and which is operated by a licensing body, or a licence to which sections 125 to 128 apply (see section 124), If it appears to the Secretary of State with respect to a scheme or licence to which this section applies that— he may by order provide that the scheme or licence shall extend to those works. works of a description similar to those covered by the scheme or licence are unreasonably excluded from it, and making them subject to the scheme or licence would not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owners, Where he proposes to make such an order, the Secretary of State shall give notice of the proposal to— the copyright owners, the licensing body in question, and such persons or organisations representative of educational establishments, and such other persons or organisations, as the Secretary of State thinks fit. The notice shall inform those persons of their right to make written or oral representations to the Secretary of State about the proposal within six months from the date of the notice; and if any of them wishes to make oral representations, the Secretary of State shall appoint a person to hear the representations and report to him. In considering whether to make an order the Secretary of State shall take into account any representations made to him in accordance with subsection (4), and such other matters as appear to him to be relevant.
