The ALMR has welcomed the opportunity offered by this short BIS consultation on the statutory Pubs Code published today to get the details right and ensure the Code’s timely implementation, thereby providing stability and certainty for those working in and investing in the sector.
ALMR Chief Executive Kate Nicholls said: “This has been a polarising debate and the ALMR has continually emphasised a pragmatic and moderate approach. We have been working closely with BIS over the summer to ensure a workable solution for businesses and to secure investment across the sector, from both landlords and other sources, to secure funding for lessee investment and will continue to make the case in these consultations.
“Following this we hope that Government will set out the details of the Code implementation in a timely fashion to provide the sector with some degree of certainty going forward, particularly for those going ahead with rent reviews.”
