The Government is committed to supporting local businesses during this crucial trading period.<\/p>

To support retailers in tiers 1-3, we have eased planning rules to allow shops to be open for longer Monday to Saturday from 2 December, giving consumers greater flexibility to choose when they shop. These measures will run through the January sales.<\/p>

Retailers in tier 4 can continue to offer click and collect, and delivery services which will help businesses keep trading.<\/p>

We have modified the closing time for hospitality to last orders at 10pm and closing time at 11pm. This allows customers to depart gradually and provides greater flexibility.<\/p>

The excellent Small Business Saturday UK event took place on the 5 December and was a great way to celebrate small and micro businesses across the UK, raise awareness of the importance of SME\u2019s to our local communities and help them get back on their feet.<\/p>

My ministerial colleagues across Government and I were delighted to be able to take part on the day itself to champion our small businesses and draw attention to the brilliant campaign.<\/p>
