HC Deb 30 October 1997 vol 299 c845W
Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received to allow extensions of licensing hours where the provision of liquor is ancillary to performances of live music. [13311]

Mr. George Howarth

Licensing law already provides for extensions of licensing hours as an ancillary to live music. We are considering representations received from the restaurant and entertainments industries to relax some of the restrictions on the grant of such extensions.
