- Question
-
What steps he is taking to support pubs in Spelthorne constituency.
- Answer
-
Pubs in the Honourable Member’s constituency and nationwide are an important part of day-to-day community life, and we are mindful of the challenges many have faced in recent years.
In response, we are reviewing the approach to valuing pubs for business rates ahead of the 2029 revaluation, informed by engagement with the industry.
We are also taking forward changes to the licensing system, including permitting longer opening hours for Home Nations World Cup fixtures and legislating to allow pubs and other hospitality venues to use more Temporary Events Notices.
