Unlocking Pubs' Potential: inquiry, evidence and report
The All Party Parliamentary Beer Group (APPBG)'s inquiry into the future potential of pubs ran through the summer and autumn of 2019. Businesses, organisations and individuals with an interest in the potential of this vital part of the UK were invited to submit evidence. More than 20 organisations responded and 14 witnesses gave evidence in person.
APPBG Chair Mike Wood MP (Con, Dudley South) co-chaired the inquiry with the Beer Group Vice Chair Ruth Smeeth (then Lab MP, Stoke-on-Trent North).
