Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. I am sure that the Minister is aware that Colin Neill recently referred to the proposed rise in non-domestic rates as:
"the final nail in the hospitality industry’s coffin".
Does the Minister accept that the proposed increases in non-domestic rates will be devastating for the tourism and hospitality sector?
