Andrew Lloyd Webber takes legal action against the government over delays to live events

"I am afraid that I would not buy into some of his conspiracy theories around this," replied Mr Huddleston, saying the report "needs to be comprehensive" and must be reviewed by several government departments before publication. As well as their attempt to force the publication of the ERP research, the group are calling for a government-backed insurance fund to cover live events this summer.

The live industry has been calling for this assistance - which is already afforded to the film and TV industry - since the start of the year.Mr Huddleston said the government was "aware of wider concerns about the industry, including insurance".A falling out?
