The Guardian reports today: Page 7 Sports Section/Digger Column/under the headline

"Caborn fails to get the message"
that Tessa Jowells has only received 136 work-related emails since
January. I for one intend to make sure that that is remedied
immediately.

It is tessa.jowell@culture.gsi.gov.uk. Most people campaigning against the Bill will have some ideas about the sort of thing to ask.

However one issue which I have been pursuing with some interesting results is that of Recreational Dancing - the fact that eg that my wife who is scottish goes to scottish country dancing every Monday night. Pays to cover costs - not for profit.

The class usually takes place in a school to recorded music but sometimes it they have do a live band. This causes problems at the DCMS as you might imagine..........the first reply was that "dancing for fun" does not need a licence.......I have asked the civil servant in question to repeat that just to make sure - he is clearly having second thoughts as I write!!
