Parliament has, of course, now gone into recess for the summer, but not before the Government put its support behind Lord Clement-Jones' Live Music Bill, with the main trade-off being an 11pm terminal for the exemption instead of the previous midnight hour.

The Government's position was that this cutback would represent a fair compromise between the needs of the licensed trade and those of neighbours who would not want to be disturbed for an extra hour at that time of night. I

it was accepted with reluctance by the Bill's sponsors, although there may be scope for an extension of this when the Government's own review of music legislation has taken place.
