The letters to politicians should all have been written long ago when the bill was in Parliament! We were all warned...

Except... as has been said, this is under the old system. Your MP will simply tell you that the new law will improve things when it comes into force.

As soon as it does, we all need to watch very carefully to see how it works in practice. If there are then problems with music sessions in pubs, that's the time to start getting really stroppy. It'll be a hard fight against administrative buck-passing because the government has made the rules but it's the local authorites that will be interpreting them.

(I go to a regular session that was stopped for a few weeks because of the pub being unlicensed. They've got their (old-style) PEL now and the session continues. I don't know how much the licence cost.)
