This increased space and time will mean that vital businesses in our sector will be able to trade and stabilise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether with our partner trade bodies from the hospitality and retail sectors, we have engaged with the Government to create an environment where landlords and tenants can reach agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask that the Government continues to support all parties with constructive negotiations that take into account the forced closure of our sector for four months and the ongoing operating restrictions which limit recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to call for vital financial and regulatory support, including a VAT rebate for the fitness and leisure sector, resulting in an effective output tax of 10% and allowing our members to play their full role in combatting this health crisis.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ukactive has issued the following statement in response to the Government\u2019s announcement that protection
