The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment she has made of the financial contribution of the hospitality sector to the Exchequer.

The Government values the significant contribution made by hospitality businesses to economic growth and social life in the UK.

HMRC does not hold aggregated data on the financial contribution of the hospitality sector to the Exchequer, but sectoral breakdowns for individual taxes can be found on gov.UK.
