To include hospitality as a key part of a single ministerial portfolio
Hospitality contributes £93bn annually and employs 3.5m people, yet it lacks dedicated representation in government. We urge the Government to include hospitality in a single ministerial portfolio, ensuring cohesive policies, support for recovery, and recognition of its vital role in the UK economy.
The hospitality sector is critical to the UK economy, but fragmented oversight across multiple departments leads to inconsistent policies and missed opportunities. A dedicated ministerial portfolio would prioritise challenges like staffing shortages, rising costs, and sustainability. This unified approach would enable cohesive decision-making, better support businesses, and maximise the sector’s potential to create jobs, drive local economies, and strengthen communities across the UK.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Minister for Services, Small Business & Exports has hospitality in his portfolio.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
