Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jane Griffiths (Labour), on Monday, 18 March 2002, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 23 members in total.
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT IN CASINOS
That this House believes that casinos are mainstream multi-purpose leisure venues and as such should be permitted to offer live entertainment as recommended by Sir Alan Budd in recommendation 24.17 of the Gambling Review; notes that this is a measure which enjoys widespread support including that of the Agents' Association, Equity and and the Musicians' Union whose members work and perform live in the entertainment industry; understands casinos have provided venues for live entertainers in the past, particularly for young and up-and-coming new talent; recollects generations of entertainers have been denied this first foothold into the entertainment industry since the ban in the late 1960s; notes that as this measure has already been consulted on it can be effected immediately by the Secretary of State by Order within 28 days simply by revoking a single paragraph in the existing 1969 Regulation; and therefore urges the Government to remove unnecessary restrictions now rather than wait for primary legislation to take effect.
