LICENSING ACT 2003

Early day motion 689, tabled 21 January 2010 by Janet Anderson (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House celebrates the cultural value of live performances in enriching and entertaining communities; welcomes the Government's consultation regarding an exemption to the Licensing Act 2003 for venues with audiences of 100; but believes that an exemption for audiences of 200 would be more effective in tackling the negative impact of the Act in reducing the number of small venues hosting live performances.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 27, Labour 25, Conservative 5, Independent 1.
