Text
As I said, the full impact will take time to become clear. I have acknowledged the benefits to workers from increases in the national minimum wage and the national living wage, but there are challenges, particularly with the cost of energy. I am aware of particular concerns raised by the hospitality sector about the Budget and its ongoing work to engage with Departments on relevant issues. My officials and I will continue to engage with local business stakeholders, including those in the hospitality sector, to understand the full detail of the Budget in the context of my economic plans.
