tabling member constituency	Hyndburn
tabling member printed	Graham Jones
uin	207601
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2014 answer text <p>The child performance licensing system is designed to provide a check that suitable arrangements are made to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children when they take part in performances, and that their education does not suffer when they do. This principle applies regardless of whether the performances are put on by amateur or professional organisations.</p><p> </p><p>We therefore have no plans to introduce differential licensing arrangements for different types or sizes of organisation. We are, however, planning to remove some unnecessary and outdated restrictions and have recently consulted on other options to improve flexibility, but without reducing any of the important safeguards. We expect the resulting changes to benefit all types of organisation involved in child performances and, of course, the children themselves.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 04/09/2014 16:44:06 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
