What is the Welsh Government doing to support pubs?
Answered by Minister for Economy | Answered on 31/10/2022
Through the Economic Resilience Fund and the Cultural Recovery Fund the Welsh Government provided Covid support of more than £1.5m to help pubs and bars in Wales survive the pandemic. An additional £116m package of non-domestic rates relief for retail, leisure and hospitality ratepayers was also provided for 2022-23.
I continue to engage on a regular basis with hospitality and tourism industry representatives through the Visitor Economy Forum to discuss a range of issues relating to the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
