Subject: RE: Minister say's jamming OK in UK
I have a had a good search through the Internet stuff on Licensing (Scotland) and so far have found nothing that mentions regulated entertainment or similar.

For those not familiar with the argument - the licensing law in Scotland has been different since 1976 and for the part about music basically permits any kind of music in a pub without any kind of licence PROVIDED it is not the main business of the premises.

EG - a concert hall would need the equivalent of an entertainment licence - Sandy Bell's (a well-known session pub in Edinburgh) would not.

I do hope the Scots see sense in this matter. Since I am married to a Scot I asked her and she said they would.
