British Beer and Pub Association Statement on the Impact of Tube Strikes on London Pubs

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: "In a typical week, London's pubs generate approximately £80m in GVA between Tuesday and Friday alone.

"This doesn't just boost the economy but represents the jobs, high streets, and community spirit that revolve around pubs.

"At a time when so many locals are already operating on a knife edge because of huge costs, significant disruption to trade will be acutely felt.

"It's vital that the overall cost of doing business comes down, which is why we're working with Government on ways to support the pub, including permanent business rates reform, a cut in beer duty and VAT, and a reduction of the regulatory burden."
