This morning at Treasury Questions I raised the concerns of pubs and restaurants in Carshalton and Wallington over Tier 2 restrictions.
Whilst support so far has been welcomed, local businesses are concerned about having a road map to reopening and, indeed, the support over Christmas.
I welcomed the Minister's assurances that the deployment of the vaccine is a priority for the Government, and that the aim is for life to get back to normal as we approach spring.
I will continue to do all I can to support businesses, particularly in the hospitality industry, moving forward, and have made representations to the Prime Minister and to the Chancellor on what more the sector feels needs to be done.
You can watch my exchange with the Minister above.
