Gordon Ramsay has called on Chancellor Rishi Sunak to extend the VAT holiday and furlough for struggling hospitality businesses at his Budget.
Ramsay told the Chancellor that the schemes have been a massive boost and pivotal to supporting restaurants, bars and pubs during the pandemic.
During the virtual meeting, which took place earlier this week, Ramsay said: “I think as a Government, we ve been supported better than any other country I know. And secondly, you ve been precise, what you ve said you ve stood by and delivered.”
“I think we ve been given one of the most incredible support systems from the furlough scheme, which was instrumental in maintaining some positivity. I think you delivered beyond.
