Thread Name: Licensing consultation announced!
Subject: RE: Licensing consultation announced!
Existing conditions will remain in place and of course any new venues will have conditlons imposed upon any live music taking place in them, them via the planning process.

So sadly, what is proposed is simply a very clever trick which has fooled many people into gushing praise, thinking that the arguments made in the Govt's proposals are to be taken to their logical conclusion.

The Govt's proposals argue against the introduction of a set time of night where all live music will be subject to additional entertainment licensing. But the moving of this set time in the Live Music Bill was a condition set by the Govt, for their support of this Private Members Bill........

"Utterly confusing" this certainly is.
