Good advice from ET. Don't rely on ministerial statements. Ask YOUR landlord, and if he hasn't applied, persuade him.

It will be for the courts to decide, not him. And it will be the licensee who probably will not take the risk.

By the way only 25% of existing licence holders have bothered to apply for a new licence containing existing rights (or much fewer variations to include music!). THERE IS LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TO GO to get the application in - and it should be a correct application, not one that the local authority reject.

Ask your local publican. Ask if entertainment is included. TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

Excellent news, if he's willing to make it stick.

Is he going to pay the fines when publicans are prosecuted?

That may be his opinion, but it is certainly NOT what the new law says.

"If it's just people singing along or jamming then it doesn't require a licence"

The Minister in charge of Licensing said this today on Radio 2.

You can hear it on 'listen again' on the BBC
website.;
