asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Oldham on 1 October (WA 186), whether it remains their intention to publish the result of the British Market Research Bureau's live music survey in November 2007. [HL345]

The Government intend to publish the survey's results in December. The earlier publication date was changed in order to ensure that the methodology was as consistent as possible with that for the 2004 survey.

The revised date was announced on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's website on 5 November.
