Support Our Pubs

Gregory Stafford MP has launched his campaign to support our local hospitality businesses across Surrey and Hampshire as they brace for Labour's fiscal changes coming into force from April 2025.

He recently held a roundtable with the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), where local publicans voiced their significant concerns for the future of the British pub.

As a part of this campaign, he has opened a special survey for people to indicate their support for a range of financial measures set out by the BII. You can find this survey below.
