HC Deb 22 April 1988 vol 131 c593W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in the light of distress caused to young people who attended Alice Cooper concerts, he will seek powers to require the codification of live performances so that the public and parents may be better informed when deciding whether to attend.

Mr. John Patten

District and London borough councils have power in licensing premises for public entertainment under the Local Government (Miscellaneous) Provisions Act 1982 and the London Government Act 1963, to impose conditions concerning the nature of entertainments permitted on those premises.
