KeithofChester Government Licensing reply (19) RE: Government Licensing reply 04 Jul 07


Here is what it actually says about sorting out those licencing authorities that seem to have taken upon themselves the role of preventing live music

ix) Ministers should robustly censure the small minority of those licensing authorities which, knowingly or otherwise, have developed repeated patterns of heavy handed, negative decision-making which are contrary to both the letter of the law and the spirit of the Section 182 Guidance.
(x) The House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport should consider whether they wish to look at those licensing authorities which, knowingly or otherwise, have developed repeated patterns of heavy handed, negative decision-making and those local authorities which appear to be operating under Licensing Act Policy Statements which contradict both the letter of law and the subsequent 2005 High Court ruling (see paragraph 3.98).
(xi) Ministers should put in place a system, in conjunction with the industries and local government, which allows for the periodical review of decision-making patterns within a sample of licensing authorities, to ensure that there can be no repeat of this form of unnecessary and unreasonable cumulative impact.
