Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Paul Scully (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill.

I know that the hon. Gentleman is a champion of pubs throughout the country. We will be looking at those and at the hospitality sector in general.

The arbitrator will be able to take evidence from both sides—the Government will not be taking a doctrinal approach—and look carefully at the books and the profit to establish whether this is just the rent debt that

occurred during that period of closure, rather than any other debts that the business might have. He or she will have a narrow focus.
