will continue the tax relief until at least June as part of the pandemic package, The Sun reports.

The 42-year-old, who owns the Half Moon pub in Kirdford, is supporting the Long Live The Local campaign, which asks the Government to cut beer duty. So-far it has been signed by nearly 500,000 people. But the Chancellor still remains under pressure to provide further support to other sectors. Northern Tories are calling for him to back high streets by permanently reducing business rates for retailers.

While Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee chairwoman Caroline Nokes is among those asking for the Chancellor to cut VAT for hair and beauty salons and extend the business rates holiday to the end of the pandemic.
