Programme for Government: your responses
30 July 2010
We respond to your comments on the Programme for Government.
We recognise that the licensing regime may deter certain venues from putting on live music and we are committed to cutting red tape around this and possibly other types of performance such as street theatre. We want to do this as quickly as possible, but we think there may be broader and more radical solutions than those being suggested already.

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport
House of Commons debates, 21 June 2010
John Penrose (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport; Weston-Super-Mare, Conservative)
My concern is that my hon. Friend's proposal goes for a particular solution when there might be a broader and potentially more radical solution that should also be considered. If we go for other alternatives, we will need to consult on them, but if we decide to go down the route of ideas that have already been thoroughly canvassed, I would obviously want to move as fast as possible and reduce the level of consultation to the bare legal minimum.

The situation is the same now - as it was prior to this process, on 21 June 2010.

Once again mention is made to a 'broader and potentially more radical solution'. But still no one has been informed of what this might be.
