50 MPs.
The campaign to bring Hospitality VAT in line with Europe has now reached another milestone, with 50 MPs backing EDM 65944.
This is no longer a niche issue. It is now a cross-party parliamentary campaign.
The question is simple.
Is your MP one of the 50?
If not, why not?
Hospitality employs over 3 million people, supports every high street, every town and every tourist destination in the country.
If your MP hasn’t signed, ask them where they stand.

The #VATsTheProblem petition has now reached 200,000 signatures.
Chef @ChefTomKerridge spoke to Newsnight about the huge cost pressures facing hospitality. A 10% VAT rate for hospitality could help save hospitality businesses in the UK.
We’re making great progress, but we need 1 million signatures to make the case to Government.
