Thirty-two MPs have so far signed an Early Day Motion tabled by John Whittingdale MP who chairs the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. The Motion urges Government "to bring forward proposals for an exemption to the Licensing Act for audiences of 200 to tackle the negative impact with regards to small venues hosting live performances."
