EFFECT OF LICENSING ON SPORTS CLUBS
Early day motion 10, tabled 17 May 2005 by Hugh Robertson (Conservative). Signed by 94 members.
That this House notes the considerable increase in fees faced by many sports and community clubs as a result of the Licensing Act 2003; recalls that the Central Council for Physical Recreation concluded that these new fees were `set to devastate grassroots sport'; and urges the Government to uphold the Prime Minister's recent commitment to ensure that sports and community clubs are not disproportionately affected.
