if i create a new selection using lasso tool and then select Copy then Paste it works fine.
if then on a new layer i do the same to a new selection i ALWAYS get the message saying 'Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty'.
but it isn't because i've selected an area using the lasso tool again.....

I never have a problem pasting on to a new layer from a selection I've made 
1/ use tool to select area you wish to copy and then press ctrl-C
2/ click F7 to bring up layers and create new blan layer
3/ press ctrl-V to paste from clipboard to layer

sounds like the new selection youve made is on a new layer that is blank
