On 3rd March, the EIF has sent the letter (accessible below) regarding Red Diesel to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and a number of MPs etc. on behalf of both EIF and BVEP. They have also been in contact with LIVE who are also going to be writing to their Parliamentary contacts. Please feel free to circulate this to your members and encourage them to lobby their MPs.

A copy of a Letter to the Chancellor from the office of the President of the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) relating to Red Diesel Legislation is available below.

These messages are welcome reinforcement of the importance of rebuilding confidence.

Message from Paul Black, VisitBritain's Head of Business Events:

One of the discussion points in the last couple of OIOV Taskforce meetings has been what communications and messaging should the UK event industry be developing as we re-start and re-set in the spring and summer seasons? These discussions have identified a number of key themes, messages and issues which will inform the planning process for the development of a coherent and consistent communications plan for the UK event industry.
