The BII, the leading professional body for the UK’s licensees, has released a statement on the publication of the pubs code.
Mike Clist, CEO of the BII, commented: “We are pleased that the Government have released the final version of the long awaited pubs code and that there will finally be some clarity for our members and other licensees across the country. We appreciate that the time between now and its implementation is short and there is great concern about the lack of transitionary measures.
“We wish to reassure all of our members who are concerned about how the code will affect them that we will be working with other trade bodies to provide them with the support they may need details of which will be announced shortly. We already operate advice helplines and expect they will prove particularly valuable to our members over the coming months.”
