The table shows direct payments to the NLA. Some Law Officers' Departments also pay a fee to the NLA via their cuttings agencies, which act as a collection agency for the licence fees associated with the hard copy cuts provided. It is not possible to quantify these payments over the period requested due to disproportionate cost. 2. The CPS has no record of payment in 2002. It is not possible to provide an explanation for this due to passage of time. 3. Payments in 2008 and 2009 included indemnity payments for previous unlicensed copying or electronic access at the RCPO and AGO respectively.
