BBPA response to Spring Statement

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “With half of our workforce made up of younger people, we are a fundamental part of the job market and give many their first step on the career ladder.

“With unemployment set to spike we can help solve this problem but, if we’re to keep putting money in workers’ pockets, our businesses need to be viable which means cutting the heavy cost of doing business.

“Key to this is the Government taking a sustainable approach to the National Living Wage rises which will mean we can keep creating those precious opportunities, jobs, and skills.”
