LIVE PERFORMANCES (No. 2)

Early day motion 1465, tabled 16 February 2011 by John Whittingdale (Conservative). Signed by 37 members.

That this House notes that it is now more than 12 months since the Department for Culture, Media and Sport launched a consultation to exempt small live music events from the bureaucracy of the Licensing Act 2007; further notes that an exemption has not yet been granted despite the commitment to cut red tape to encourage the performance of more live music in the Coalition Agreement; and calls on the Government to introduce an exemption without delay.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Conservative 11, Liberal Democrat 7, Plaid Cymru 2, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
