Consultation on proposal to clarify the definition of 'entertainment facilities' in the Licensing Act 2003

This consultation seeks your views on a proposal to exclude the provision of musical instruments from the definition of entertainment facilities in the Licensing Act 2003 (the Act); and clarify that entertainment facilities are not separately licensable if they are used solely for the provision of incidental music.

Please note responses may be published, unless you ask us not do so. In addition under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 all information in responses, including personal information, may be subject to publication or disclosure. If any correspondent requests confidentiality this cannot be guaranteed, and will only be possible if considered appropriate under the legislation.
