Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to publish a response to the Statutory review of Pubs Code and Pubs Code Adjudicator 2022 to 2025.

The third statutory review covering the period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2025 is in progress and the government’s report will be published as soon as practicable. My officials are currently analysing the evidence collected from last year’s call for evidence and from other publicly available sources. Stakeholder responses to the call for evidence have greatly assisted my officials in identifying emerging themes and are further informing the review’s content. I am grateful for the helpful input provided by stakeholders and will continue to engage with them in taking forward the conclusions to the review.
