Asked by:
Sir Alan Campbell (Labour)
Answer
The Government has moved to support pubs and brewers through its unprecedented coronavirus economic response, in common with action to support other parts of the hospitality industry. This includes the job support scheme, job retention bonus, business rates holiday, VAT deferral and repayment scheme and the bounce back loans scheme. The Government believes that these economy-wide measures are the quickest and fairest way of supporting these important sectors.
