Do Sir Alan Herbert, Mr. J. A. White and their

associates intend that the principles embodied in the Libraries (Public Lending Right) Bill be extended to cover all libraries where only one copy of a book may be used by several persons, e.g., the hard- pressed London Library, the libraries ' of both Houses of Parliament and university and college libraries? And commercial lending libraries?— Yours faithfully, H. E. TAYLOR 7 Hilltop Road, Reigate, Surrey
