Charities And Recorded Music Licences

EDM number 318 in 2009-10, proposed by Tom Levitt on 01/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Charities, Licensing, Performing arts and Voluntary organisations.

That this House notes the Government's decision to make charities and other not-for-profit organisations pay for a licence when they play recorded music in their own premises from April 2010; further notes the proposals would result in an unacceptable financial burden on the voluntary and community sector upwards of £20 million per annum; further notes the devastating impact that these proposals would have on local tea dances, youth clubs, coffee mornings, charity shops and others; and therefore calls on the Government to maintain the status quo and continue the current exemption for all charities and other not-for-profit organisations from this music licence regime.

This motion has been signed by a total of 113 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
