Here is the question I have just emailed to jimmy.devlin@bbc.co.uk

Probably too long - but I'd love to see him put in a corner with that quote. Maybe a few more questions incorporating it might encourage the programme to put it to him:

A question for Kim Howells:

Talking on the Mike Harding show on July 17th last year, on Radio 2, you were asked whether people would be able have singarounds and music sessions in places which didn't have a licence covering entertainment. You promised that: "As long as money isn't changing hands, then there's no reason why they should have to have a licence." And when Mike Harding checked that was the change in the law would mean that would no longer be illegal to have sigarounds and sessions in pubs which didn't have entertainment licences, for example, you confirmed that, saying "Yes, absolutely".

But the Bill doesn't say that. It says that if we play music in any public place where there isn't a licence we'll be committing a crime. Are you planning to put an exemption in the Bill so that it doesn't say that any more? I'm not the world's greatest musician, but I don't think I deserve to be sent to send to jail just for playing a guitar.
