Written question asked by Lord Clement-Jones (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Thursday, 22 June 2006.


Licensing: Live Entertainment

Question
What proportion of licensed premises in England and Wales that did not previously hold an entertainment licence now have authorisation for the performance of live music.
Answer

This information is not held centrally. However, the DCMS intends to commission research this year to assess the take-up of new licences permitting live music performances in England and Wales. This research will provide a measure of the number of smaller venues that did not previously hold an entertainment licence and which have secured the authorisation to provide live music under the new system. Once completed, copies of the results of this research will be deposited in the Libraries of both Houses and published on the DCMS website at www.culture.gov.uk.
