Andrew Griffith

Conservative — Arundel and South Downs

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2025

Debate

Supporting High Streets

Contribution

My hon. Friend makes exactly the right point: it was a devastating concoction of the Chancellor’s last year, and I believe that I am right in saying that UKHospitality calibrated the figures and estimated that 98,000 jobs have been lost across the hospitality sector. How proud this Government must be of costing mostly young and often vulnerable people their first chance!
