flag Welsh MPs warn of worsening hospitality crisis, urging government action to prevent 111,000 job losses.

flag A cross-party group of Welsh MPs, led by Llinos Medi, has warned of a deepening crisis in the hospitality sector, urging urgent government action ahead of the Autumn Budget. flag They cite rising costs, unsustainable business rates, and increased National Insurance as major threats, with UK hospitality job losses now at 84,000 and projected to reach 111,000. flag The sector, employing over 165,000 people and contributing £4 billion to Wales’ economy, faces additional strain as a proposed business rates relief scheme excludes hospitality and leisure. flag MPs are calling for business rates reform, lower Employers’ National Insurance, and a VAT cut on hospitality services to prevent further job losses and protect high streets.
