Live performances

Early day motion 666, tabled 29 June 2020 by George Howarth (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes with concern that as a result of measures taken to halt the spread of covid-19, live performances have been unable to take place; further notes that live music events have all but ceased to exist and as a consequence, many performers and those providing light and sound services have had no income during the covid-19 lockdown; expresses great concern that, without urgent additional Government support, many performers and the companies that support them face imminent financial ruin; and calls on Government to put together an urgent package of support to enable live performances to survive.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Scottish National Party 3, DUP 1, Green 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
