I have replied to my MP as follows......

Dear Mr Knight

I would be grateful if you explained the process by which the Lords decision on the 3 July can be changed by the Government and for the details of how - what you state about acoustic music in pubs now being unlicensable in the Bill - is detailed?

Until you can do this - I would also be grateful if you would not provide this misinformation, in this form to any of your other constituents.

My understanding is that where it may be true that [thanks to efforts of the Lib Dem peers] Morris dancing is exempt - the same music, even non amplified and in or outside of pubs, played without the dancing - is not.

I would of course be most delighted if you were right and I were wrong - so perhaps you can come back to me ASAP and explain?
