Nightclub industry chiefs furious after it emerges they WON’T be included in Burnham’s business rates tax cut – as they accuse PM of not understanding his own flagship policy
The article reports that nightclub industry leaders are angry after learning that nightclubs will not be included in Andy Burnham’s proposed business-rates tax cut. They argue that the exclusion is unfair and say the Prime Minister does not understand the policy’s effects on the sector.
