BBPA response to Employment Rights Bill update reports

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “After a challenging Budget, the Employment Rights Bill has been adding to anxiety so the decision to remove this clause will be a relief to many brewers and publicans who might otherwise have been cautious about taking on new staff. We now call on Government to work with the BBPA and other trade sectors to further improve the Employment Rights Bill, retain flexibility and to avoid unintended consequences and costs which our brewers and pubs will struggle to absorb.”
