It would appear that our MPs obtain the information they give to their constituents from fellow back-benchers (even when they themselves have taken part in the Committee stages), from the Guardian or from the bloke down the pub.

Many MPs may honestly want to believe they can and are eager give their constituents good news, but it is important that they are given the correct information by us - before the whole country is under impression that small events and non amplified music is exempt from the licensing requirement.

It is also important to establish if this misinformation is coming from an official source - if it is just a case of yet more incompetence from our elected representitives.
