The debate on the creation of a Hospitality Minister position in BEIS was triggered by petition exceeding the 100,000 mark. The call for a Hospitality Minister was responded to by the Minister for Small Business, Consumers and Labour Markets, Paul Scully. He acknowledged the importance of hospitality to the UK economy and local communities. He also undertook to continue to work with the sector to get it through the immediate crisis, but stopped short of agreeing with the need for a Hospitality Minister. The debate ended with Catherine McKinnell MP, who introduced the petition, thanking the Minister for his response, but urged him to take the idea of creating the position of Hospitality Minister to the Prime Minister as something that it is in the Government’s interest to create.
