PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Public Houses: Government Assistance (18 September 2023)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department is taking to support pubs.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Answer

We understand the many challenges pubs are facing. The Government is supporting pubs with business rates relief, the Brexit Pubs Guarantee, and help with energy costs. We are also working across Government to identify opportunities to ease regulatory and licensing burdens.

We continue to work with businesses, including members of the Hospitality Sector Council, to deliver our 2021 Hospitality Strategy, which aims to support the sector's recovery from COVID-19 and improve longer term resilience.
