The 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme was announced earlier in July as part of the government's Plans for Jobs initiative, which has also seen VAT rates cut for the hospitality and tourism sectors.

 

Speaking on the announcement of the scheme, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said:

 

"The best jobs programme we can do is to restart these sectors, and get our pubs, restaurants, cafes and B&Bs bustling again.

 

"I know people are cautious about going out, but we wouldn't have listed the restrictions if we didn't think we could do so safely.

 

"I've seen how in the last few weeks hard business are working to make their premises safe, and if we follow the guidance and respect what they ask us to do, we can all enjoy summer safely."
 

How can I find who is taking part in Bath?
