BOLTON South-east MP Brian Iddon has been thanked for backing calls for new laws to allows artists to earn royalties from the resale of their work.
Dr Iddon backed a Commons motion supporting the implementation of the European Artist's Resale Right Directive legislation. The Department for Trade and Industry has published a consultation document asking artists and other stakeholders for their views as to the form UK law should take in implementing the obligations.
