Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Like my hon. Friend, I make a strong case for rural public houses—indeed, just a week ago, I was in The Bell Inn in Weston Hills in my constituency attending a "save our pubs" campaign meeting, which illustrated to me the communal effect of pubs. Have the Government conducted a study—there are certainly no background notes—of the wider effect of the trade and its impact on employment and social value in our rural areas? If not, why not?
