Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the evidential basis is for the Pubs Code Adjudicator's statement on the ITV documentary, The Great British Pub Revolution, screened on 8 December 2016, that many of the tenants he has met are supportive of him in his role.

This is a matter for the Pubs Code Adjudicator. I have asked the Pubs Code Adjudicator to write to the Hon Member directly. A copy of the response will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
