BBPA Response to Reports on Impending Announcements

Emma McClarkin CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “News that the government is going to look again at business rates increases is potentially a huge win for pubs across the country and shows Government have not only listened to our concerns but acted. This could save locals, jobs, and means publicans can breathe a huge sigh of relief. The BBPA has worked closely with ministers on a pub specific solution that would ensure that bills are reduced in line with the government’s previous promises to pubs. We now keenly await to see the detail of the upcoming announcement."
