Brunnschweiler asking gov to extend VAT cut to drinks
The boss of Bushys is calling on the Manx Government to help pubs that don't serve meals.
VAT on food served in hospitality was cut from 20% to 5% earlier this week.
Martin Brunnschweiler would like to see this also being applied to alcoholic drinks served in pubs and restaurants to give the sector a real boost.
He believes some businesses face hard times and tough choices unless support continues:
Bus drivers gather at picket lines
10-day strike got underway this morning
Sea Terminal improvements to begin next month
Key arrival points to be 'enhanced'
TUC and Bus Vannin urge public not to be abusive to bus staff during strikes
Drivers 'deserve fairness, not vilification', says trade union group
Contingency timetable takes effect as bus drivers stage strike action
Ten day walkout gets underway
