Sir David Amess (Southend West) (Con):
If music be the food of love, we could certainly do with a lot of music just now. In that regard, will my right hon. Friend join me in welcoming Sir Michael Parkinson having opened the expanded premises of the United Kingdom’s first jazz centre in Southend on Saturday, inspired by Digby Fairweather and displaying wonderful jazz memorabilia and music—and is that not yet another reason why Southend should be declared a city?

I have of course been known to move to a little bit of music myself on occasions. I thank my hon. Friend for highlighting this excellent new centre, and I am extremely pleased that it was opened by my constituent, Sir Michael Parkinson. My hon. Friend might know that culture is one of the key strands of the Government’s GREAT Britain campaign; that is about promoting arts from across the whole of the UK to global audiences. We like to see and support events around the country showcasing the excellent range of performing arts that we have, and I join my hon. Friend in welcoming this new jazz centre—and I note the bid he has put in once again in relation to Southend.

That this House recognises that Britain is a major contributor to the world of jazz and has produced many of the world's greatest jazz musicians; acknowledges that jazz in Britain is supported by a large and discerning audience and is a major component of Britain's arts and entertainment culture; notes that Britain's great jazz heritage has developed and been sustained by its many fine exponents learning and honing their skills playing in public houses; regrets that the playing of jazz in public houses has suffered from the restrictive and illogical 'Two-in-a-Bar' Rule; is concerned that the nation's great jazz heritage is now threatened by further restrictions in the Licensing Bill on the playing of jazz in pubs; and urgest the Government to ensure that the Licensing Bill does not lead to even greater constraints on the performance of jazz in public houses with a consequent loss of playing and listening opportunities and of employment for jazz musicians.

That this House shares the Government's commitment to raising standards of literacy and numeracy by requiring a dedicated proportion of the school day to be given to the acquisition of those basic skills and draws attention to the connection, which is evidenced by international research, between pupils' achievement in music and improved performance in the schools' core curriculum; further notes that the performing, improvising and composing elements of the music curriculum provide valuable opportunities for jazz education to be fostered in UK schools, which is reflected in a growing number of school based and authority-wide jazz ensembles of steadily improving quality; and calls upon the Government to ensure that its review of the National Curriculum in no way undermines the place of music in general - and jazz in particular - in schools.
