I've had an email from mine today, offering to send me Kim Howells letter. I replied as follows:

Thank you for your response. As I said in my email dated 20-December-2002, I have already seen the standard letter from Kim Howells and do not think it would of benefit to have another copy. You will note that the standard letter does not address the specific subject of my 13th January, namely the apparent conflict between the advice you have been given ("Morris dancing will not be limited in any way") and the clear requirement in the bill - included verbatim in my last email - that it will require a licence if performed at any premises, defined in clause 184 as follows:

                      "premises" means any place and includes a vehicle, vessel or moveable

structure;

("Premises", you will note, covers very much more than pubs and therefore whether or not it is easy for a publican to gain a licence is by no means the complete story.)
I therefore have to ask again how you reconcile this apparent contradiction, quoting clauses where you believe an exception is made.
