Musicians plea to lift instrument ban
The Musicians’ Union in the UK is planning to lobby the British Pariament over some security measures put in place which ban instruments from being taken on to planes as carry on luggage.
A spokesman for the Union says this new ban is affecting union members’ livelihood.
When Paraliment starts a new session next month the union plans to table a motion lifting the bans.
Passengers flying from the UK can take only one item of hand luggage no bigger than a laptop case.
Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander indicated yesterday that the anti-terror restrictions could be eased.
