Closed Reduce VAT for hospitality businesses

Closed on

I believe that businesses in the hospitality sector could be helped by reducing VAT to a lower rate. I think it would allow the survival of more hospitality businesses and others that might be struggling due to current rates of VAT.

    Explainer

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
