Mr Paul Kohler

Liberal Democrat — Wimbledon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 October 2024

Debate

Night-time Economy

Contribution

I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. The hospitality industry is a crucial aspect of the night-time economy. It already faces an existential crisis, with post-Brexit labour shortages, covid debt and wage and commodity inflation. What advice would the Minister give to the hospitality industry and businesses that now face a hike in national insurance costs and, despite the headlines, a more than doubling in last year’s business rates?
