RESOLVED:-

That the Committee confirms that the steps take by the Licensing Manager to encourage an application from the proprietor of the Cove House Inn, Portland for a licence permitting public entertainment on the premises were appropriate and justified.

That consultation take place with local musicians regarding the law as it stands at present and what amendments could usefully be made, and that these views be collated and passed to the Government.

The above summary of the minutes of the 5th June, make it clear that it was the councillors that insisted that some constructive measure was attempted....Little as it may be, it is not Mr Grainger's inititive at all........
