BBC had a spot this morning on how few premises had actually applied for the extra hours or how few had indeed applied for the new licence. Perhaps a question on these lines and one pointing out that no live music at all without being detailed in these applications - and asking if any measures are in hand to address this - would be seen to be topical enough to be chosen?

Any (unchanged) applications made before the August deadline will be OK but any made after this will be seen as an alteration.
