PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(11 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to meet representatives of the hair and beauty industry to discuss the potential impact of the Budget on their sector.

Asked by:
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour)

Answer

The Chancellor has been clear that the government must take difficult choices. This was a budget to fix the foundations of the economy, and these tough decisions are intended to provide a platform for growth.

I met with representatives from the sector at a Personal Care Roundtable on 19 November 2024. Representatives from the hospitality and personal care sector attended a Budget Broadcast call with the Secretary of State for Business and Trade on 4 November 2024. There is ongoing engagement with the sector both at Ministerial and official level to understand the challenges facing the sector, including the impact of measures announced at Budget.
