Abstract
Following yesterday’s news (21 November) whereby PM Theresa May confirmed that the UK has “achieved a decisive breakthrough” regarding its exit from the EU, UKHospitality (UKH) said it ‘welcomes’ the agreement ‘in principal’.
Stressing the importance of avoiding a no-deal scenario, Kate Nicholls, UKH chief executive, added: “This is a positive step forward for businesses looking for stability and clarity in order to plan their investment.
“Hospitality operators need to know they will have the reassurances provided by a deal.
“It cannot be stressed enough that a no-deal Brexit would present the sector with severe problems and would have a serious impact on confidence.
“This agreement demonstrates a clear alignment on a direction of travel.
“This crucial step in securing a Brexit withdrawal agreement will provide much-needed confidence that a no deal scenario will be avoided”.
