Now his reported comments on "Sommerset Folk singers" may have outraged some, but most people in South Wales knew what we think he meant. ie That the Licencing Bill had no contol over the quality of the entertainment proposed.

This comment was given in response was to people who were pointing out that certain types of folk music - those that were not performance - did not fit the model that was proposed in the Bill and were therefore placed at threat by this. This was a perfectly valid point that needed addressing and the fact that he did not address it was the reason that the entire Bill very nearly fell at the last post.
