John King comments:
The Govt repeats it's support for the Live Music Bill, but refers to "concerns on the other side" - probably a reference to the Local Government Association's opposition to licensing reform.

My noble friend Lord Colwyn also pointed out the need for clarification around the licensing of sites for live music. The Government remain committed to scrapping unnecessary red tape. We support the Bill introduced by my noble friend Lord Clement-Jones and are consulting on a broader approach. I will make sure that my noble friend's concerns are made known, and I will take them back to my department. However, I must not pre-empt the consultation, and there are concerns on the other side.
