Inquiry into Covid-19 effect on night time economy

MPs will investigate the impact of Covid-19 on the night time economy during January.

A newly-formed All Party Parliamentary Group is seeking evidence with an eye to reporting next month on challenges facing the sector and possible roads to recovery.

Night Time Industries Association CEO Michael Kill welcomed the group's interest.

"Our sector has slipped through the cracks of insufficient support packages and borne the brunt of ever-changing and inconsistent restrictions," he said.
