Subject: Licensing Bill UK - Urgent help please.
URGENT

I have been sent the following (easier?) link for sending a FAX from the web.

If you have not already done so (or even if you have) - will you please make the effort to contact your MP and ask them to vote to support the Lords amendment to exempt small live music events from additional licensing, when the Licensing Bill returns to the Commons, this coming Tuesday?

You can also use the following, which appears to be a little more up to date.

Or email from this list on the Common's website http://www.parliament.uk/directories/hciolists/alms.cfm

The E petition presented to 10 Downing Street last Monday had 110,000 signatures - it would be nice to be able to send 110,000 FAXES.

More information can be found on the Musicians' Union site http://www.musiciansunion.org.uk/articles/welcome.shtml

For those without a MP in the UK- You can also help by sending a fax to the Prime Minister on (0)20 7925 0918. (From outside the UK, the number is +442079250918.)

For those without a FAX, you can send one from the web by using the following site http://www.networks-id.co.uk/tpc.htm

Many thanks
