Though I'd admit it's better than most, Kevin, it really only protects sessions etc. and would have no effect as far as Morris Dancers, Carol Singers, Mummers etc. were concerned.

If it does this, it is no better than the amendment put forward by Baroness Blackstone that, for the purpose of the bill, bellringing doesn't count as music.

What we need here is a bit of solidarity, not "solutions" which, however good, exempt some people at the expense of others.

I'd rather go to Gaol.
