Intro:

  • John McNamara, chief executive of the British Institute of Innkeeping, (pictured) said: “This is really good news. It’s a tribute to the hard work of all the pubs and other licensed premises that have worked to implement the Charter."

  • Mark Hastings, spokesman for the British Beer & Pub Association, said: “It’s disappointing that the Department of Health has taken a negative stance. The Charter is an enormous success, a tribute to the hard work and consistent drive that has been put behind it.

  • Clive Mansell, licensee of the Ship Inn near Winchester, said: “The fact that such a high percentage of pubs are already compliant with the Charter shows that the industry is responsible."

  • Chris Maclean, licensee of the Plough & Harrow in Bridge, Canterbury, said pub owner Shepherd Neame has been working with its estate to roll out the Charter."

  • John Sands, executive chairman of Pubmaster, said: “Self-regulation is good news. We have supported the Charter from the start and have worked with our tenants to implement it."
