Abstract
A petition, launched by Claire Bosi, is asking for a dedicated Hospitality Minister in the UK Government for the current and successive Governments.
The UK hospitality industry is responsible for around three million jobs and it generates £130Bn, resulting in £38Bn in taxation. There is a dedicated Arts and Sports Minister but not one for the hospitality industry.
The petition claims a dedicated Hospitality Minister would be ‘beneficial to the Government & industry during the pandemic’.
Craft Guild of Chefs National Chef of the Year head judge Paul Ainsworth, Angela Hartnett and Marcus Weaving have supported the petition along with over 36,000 people.
