Covid 19 - What you need to know - 10pm curfew expected for hospitality businesses in England.

As widely reported across the media this morning the Prime Minister is expected to announce today further measures impacting the hospitality industry.

A 10pm curfew is being briefed to journalists and the Prime Minister will confirm his plans before Parliament at lunchtime and in a televised address to the nation at 8 pm this evening.

Although we await sight of the final regulations (expected to come into force on Thursday) we can look to other local regulations currently in force as an example of how the curfew and mandatory table service requirements may appear in the national regulations.
