---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legislation which will make it easier for small venues to host live music has been cleared in the House of Commons.
The private members' bill, introduced by Liberal Democrat Don Foster, will lift some of the bureaucracy imposed by the 2003 Licensing Act.
It means many venues will no longer need to pay for a licence to host live music between 8:00am and 11:00pm.
The bill passed unopposed and will have to go back to the House Of Lords briefly before becoming law.
