I now turn to the sectors most affected. Hospitality businesses face £3.4 billion in additional annual costs from April. Research from CGA by NIQ shows that just 14% of businesses feel optimistic about the market. Hospitality, as colleagues will know, is the single largest user of zero-hours contracts, with 32% of such arrangements in the UK workforce found in this sector alone, according to the House of Commons Library briefing last September.
