I received a rather disspointing reply from Dr Kim Howlls MP. The Minister (at Culture) responsible for licesing law.

The question I asked (via my new MP) was only about the (still only proposed) reforms, when my question was what are they going to do under present legislation to ensure that council's are in complience with ALL their responsibilities.

As this was not reffered to I can only assume that the answer is nothing.........

I will post the whole thing soon.
