Busking

Debate between Lord Anderson of Swansea and Baroness Williams of Trafford

Monday 30th June 2014 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

The task force obviously does a very valuable job; I am now intrigued by it and very much look forward to the letter in the post inviting me on to it. There is no difference between the mayor’s view of busking and the Government’s view: where it is appropriate it is widely supported.

[Lord Anderson of Swansea (Lab)]

Are there any special provisions applicable to, say, aggressive busking on the London Underground?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

Any behaviour of an aggressive sort would be dealt with appropriately, whether it involved busking or not.
