Regulated Entertainment - 'A Call to Arms?'

We have previously reported on the DCMS consultation to de-regulate "regulated entertainment". See link.

This consultation expires 3rd December 2011.

We have previously said (and we believe it fundamentally important) that operators should respond to this consultation before its expiry, in an attempt to counter what we believe will be a groundswell of opposition by those against any such form of relaxation. 

Apart from welcoming the proposed de-regulation for itself, any such response might also conveniently mention (as you see fit) any possible increase in employment opportunities which might arise as a result and also the cost savings which might follow, both to Licensing Authorities (substantially relieved of this burden) and to yourselves as operators.

The consultation document can be found in the link above.

Responses to the questions posed can be sent to regulated_entertainment_consultation@culture.gsi.gov.uk or by post to Nigel Wakelin, Regulated Entertainment Consultation Co-Ordinator, DCMS, 2 - 4 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5DH.
