GREAT BRITISH PUB AND THE GREAT BRITISH SUMMER

Early day motion 1967, tabled 21 July 2009 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 29 members.

That this House recognises that visiting the pub in the summer is a traditional and treasured national pastime; further recognises that pubs are hugely important to the British tourist trade and that they are a unique and very attractive part of a UK holiday; hopes that this summer sees some good weather to encourage people to visit the pub and celebrate pubs and beer gardens; further hopes that this will lead to a welcome increase in trade in this vital industry; and further hopes that hon. Members will support their local pubs by visiting them over the summer recess, as well as visiting pubs when they are on their holidays, joining many millions of people enjoying their unique atmosphere and hospitality all over the UK.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Liberal Democrat 11, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
