Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 12:19 · Archive

A cross-party group of MPs visited York to hear about challenges facing hospitality and tourism businesses.

A cross-party group of MPs visited York to hear first-hand about the challenges facing the city's hospitality and tourism businesses. The visit was part of the Parliamentary Knowledge Foundation, a new scheme launched by the Speaker of the House of Commons to help MPs gain in-depth understanding of key policy areas through direct engagement.

During their time in York, MPs toured businesses and attractions including York Minster, Clifford's Tower and the National Railway Museum. They also visited Spark, a community interest company that has supported 65 start-ups by offering affordable space and business development opportunities.

Rachael Maskell, MP for York Central, said: 'It is always a pleasure to welcome colleagues from the House of Commons to York, not least when they hear from local business owners. The MPs would have learnt a lot from meeting directly with our hard-working business leaders in the city.'
