Children's Centres: Music
(asked on 9th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make it her policy to exempt children's play centres from licensing requirements for the use of music.
This question was answered on 15th December 2016
Whether a children’s play centre is subject to licensing requirements will depend on its individual circumstances. Some centres will require a licence to play live or recorded music, while others may not.
Since 2010, government has implemented a package of deregulation in relation to the Licensing Act 2003 and there are no plans to deregulate further at this time.
