My speech on the impact of the Budget on the hospitality sector

  • Tweet
Friday, 16 January, 2026
  • Speeches in Parliament

The toxic concoction of taxes, higher wages and red tape in the Budget has hit our hospitality sector - pubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels, as well as salons and gyms - particularly hard.

Many have had to cut staff hours, reduce opening hours and increase prices to cope with the extra costs. 

Worse still, some businesses have been forced to shut.

So I ask, what does the Chancellor have against the hospitality sector?!

You can watch my full speech from Tuesday's debate here.
