Licensing Act

Proceeding contribution from John Whittingdale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Licensing Act.
I absolutely agree with the hon. Gentleman. There is real evidence of that happening, not just in Montgomeryshire but right across the country. As he suggested, those are the places where many bands start. They do not suddenly find themselves playing Wembley stadium; they would normally start off elsewhere. I remember in my teens seeing a band I had never heard of in a pub, playing a song called "Roxanne". I consider myself fortunate to have seen The Police in an audience of about 150.
