Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representatives of the independent small breweries sector he has had discussions with on the effect of the covid-19 outbreak on that sector.

Due to the exceptional circumstances of the covid-19 outbreak, it has not been possible for Ministers to meet directly with representatives of every business sector during this pressured time. However, Treasury officials have been in regular contact with the Society of Independent Brewers and other organisations representing small brewers throughout this period.

Full details of all Ministerial meetings are published regularly on the GOV.UK website:
