Proceeding contribution from John Lamont (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 September 2025. It occurred during Opposition day on Hospitality Sector.
Hospitality Sector
My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech and demonstrating why he is such a great champion for Teesside. Does he agree that many businesses are not just facing the prospect of closing, but of possibly laying off more and more jobs? In my constituency, Mainstreet Trading, a fantastic award-winning bookshop, deli and café, wrote to all its customers earlier this year to say that opening hours were going to be reduced because of Labour’s tax on jobs. Is he experiencing the same in his constituency?
