Slashing VAT for hospitality venues will make dining out much more affordable for residents, and will help save struggling pubs and restaurants.

Yesterday, the Lib Dems announced our plan to put £270 back into your pockets by cutting energy bills and a 5% VAT cut for pubs, restaurants and hospitality.
We are asking major banks to pay more via a windfall tax, half of which will go towards this plan and help tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
