answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>Several measures have been introduced across Government to support pubs, including a freeze on beer duty announced at Budget 2018.

It is available to eligible businesses with a rateable value below £51,000.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, some 2,000 pubs have been listed as Assets of Community Value (ACVs), meaning that if they are put up for sale, the community can have up to six months to bid to buy them. Planning regulations which came into effect in May 2017 removed permitted development rights from all pubs, meaning that planning permission must now be obtained prior to change of use or demolition.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the Government’s recent announcement of a tourism sector deal, as part of the Industrial Strategy, will be a boost for pubs and the hospitality industry.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 03/07/2019 16:13:11 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
