A Government Minister saying something that doesn't square with actuality? Sorry, I just can't believe that could ever happen... ;-)

Sally,
Regarding use by businesses -the terms of the license are on the PLS website and do not allow for "commercial use":
http://www.pls.org.uk/Pages/Licence%20Agreement_A2R.pdf
"For the avoidance of any doubt, the Licensee agrees and acknowledges that the following activities are not permitted at any time under this Agreement:
(a) any Commercial Use of any of the Licensed Material"
and
"Commercial Use means use for the purposes of monetary reward (whether by or for the Licensee, a Registered User or any other person) by means of the sale, resale, loan, transfer, hire or other form of exploitation of the Licensed Material. In particular, for the avoidance of any doubt, the recovery of actual costs incurred in providing technical facilities relating to use of the Licensed Material in accordance with clause 3.1(b) is not Commercial Use, but the use of the Licensed Material in the course of research for or funded by a commercial organisation is Commercial Use"
I'm not sure how this squares with the David Wiletts comment in the link you cite that: [Access to Research] "will connect people, including students and *small businesses*, to a wealth of global knowledge - maximising its impact and value."

This article and comment by David Willetts implies that the e-journal content now available through public libraries IS for use by small businesses - as well as many others http://www.virtual-college.co.uk/news/Public-libraries-placing-learning-reso
