HC Deb 07 April 2003 vol 403 c22W
Mr. Chope

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport whether it is her policy that common areas in(a) sheltered accommodation, (b) residential homes and (c) day centres should be subject to licensing when used by a one-person singing entertainer. [107588]

Dr. Howells

Under the provisions of the Licensing Bill, performances in sheltered accommodation, residential homes or day centres would not be licensable unless the public were able to attend, or a charge was made to those who attended with a view to do more than cover costs.
