Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what representations his Department has received on the potential effect on the hospitality sector of the proposed merger between the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers and the British Hospitality Association.
The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport met the newly appointed CEO of UKHospitality on 1st March 2018 and the Department will work closely with this new trade body. Both UKHospitality and DCMS have ambitious targets for driving continued Tourism and Hospitality growth - and we look forward to developing collaborative programmes that share the economic and job creation benefits of this vibrant sector right across the country.
