Bradley Thomas discussed the impact of the Government's Budget on the pub and hospitality sector with the owners of The Bell and Cross Pub at Clent.
Following his visit, Bradley said:
"It's been tough for pubs and the hospitality for some time, but I'm afraid the Government's Budget is only making things worse.
"The combination of the minimum wage increase, the increase in Employers National Insurance Contributions and reductions in business rates relief is going to pile more costs on to our pubs.
"I discussed this with the owners of The Bell & Cross at Clent on my recent visit.
"I voted against the Jobs Tax because I was acutely aware of the impact it will have on businesses across our constituency."
