MPs LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER TO SAVE THE WEDDING INDUSTRY

38 cross-party MPs have written to the Prime Minister this evening urging immediate intervention to save the UK wedding industry, a sector devastated by the pandemic and facing months without income. The sector will only become financially viable on June 21st when restrictions are currently scheduled to be removed.

Supporting the work of the UK Weddings Taskforce, the group is headed by Neil Parish MP, who commented:

“MPs across the country are hearing that their local wedding businesses are on their knees – and that’s why we’re stepping in. We are now calling on the PM to intervene because the current roadmap and economic support falls short of what is required to get the sector through to June 21. The UK Weddings Taskforce has worked tirelessly to put in place a sensible plan for servicing weddings again, but dialogue with the Government has not yet led to constructive policies, and we can’t afford to wait much longer. If we want the sector to live happily ever after, we need action now.”
