This was a cut-and-paste Budget, maintaining the status quo which continues to act as a drag on recovery.

The Chancellor missed a real opportunity today to show that he backs hospitality.

Ahead of today's Budget, our CEO @UKHospKate was on @BBCBreakfast.

"If VAT was cut we know that would incentivise more people to go out more frequently, and that would result in a higher revenue and higher tax take from the hospitality sector."

Great to hear from ⁦@DWPgovuk⁩ minister ⁦@Jochurchill_MP⁩ about the strength of the Hospitality Sector Based Work Academy pilots and how govt will look to roll out more widely - good example of genuine co-created solutions to industry challenges

Fascinating to hear from @Hilton about viewing inclusivity as a shared responsibility and embedding it into business values to become an employer of choice for people of all abilities @DSAInfo #UKHWorkforce24 #SocialImpact

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

As a sector, how can we better support people with learning disabilities to enter the workplace?

We hear from @Hilton who have partnered with @DSAInfo, to bring together employers and job-seekers who have Down’s Syndrome, to provide employment opportunities. #UKHWorkforce24

The FTSE 350 hits a historic high of 42% Women on Boards, up from a mere 9.5% in 2011. It is evident that business-led targets, with appropriate monitoring & scrutiny, can be effective in driving change (where it matters the most!) https://t.co/vQd26vHgK6

This is a serious issue & not only for hospitality.

Many closures will be in small communities. When they go, that’s a big social & economic loss.

At some point we’ll have no social infrastructure left in a lot of the UK.

This HAS to move up the agenda https://t.co/drbRp81vsq

Excellent example of celebrating the power of food to bring people together, nurturing intergenerational connections & recreating childhood memories. Super nostalgic too! #Hospitality #SocialGood #Nostalgia https://t.co/cTkGR9owBP

Chefs, grandmas. Potato, potah-to. Many chefs say they were first inspired by their moms and grandmothers, so these rotating nonnas, grannies, and nanas in Staten Island eatery Enoteca Maria are definitely chefs in their own right. 🧑‍🍳😘

[Shraddha Kaul @shrkaul]

This is awesome.

Perfect Birthday card from sister… made me chuckle… F Word n all!!

Couldn’t be prouder. Hospitality is a huge export sector, gives careers to kids from all backgrounds, and fixes communities.

You want people to live in a place with energy and life? Hospitality makes it happen.

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

Powerful video of the challenges affecting hospitality businesses and the people that run them.

We know a lower rate of VAT is the single greatest catalyst to drive growth in the sector - and that is one of our asks ahead of the Budget.

A huge thank you to @AlynSmith for organising and leading a Westminster Hall debate on fiscal support for the hospitality sector yesterday.

It was great to hear cross party recognition of the vital role hospitality plays in communities and in delivering for the economy.

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

We have set out our three key asks ahead of the Budget:

👉 A lower rate of VAT for hospitality, leisure and tourism
👉 A 3% cap on business rates increases
👉 Temporary changes to employer National Insurance Contributions
