Allowing people to gather in “unregulated” homes over Christmas but banning mixing in pubs is “making a mockery” of the industry, a top figure has said.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) told MPs that “the ban on actual household mixing inside our venues within the tiering system is absolutely devastating for the pub sector”.
Speaking to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, Ms McClarkin said bringing people together is “absolutely what we do”.
“We are a community centre, a community hub and we’ve invested millions to make us Covid-secure.”
She went on: “It is actually making a mockery by banning us from allowing people to mix and meet together when the Government has now introduced a Christmas plan that allows them to do that in private, unregulated and unsafe settings where all bets are off.”
