A POPULAR, family-run Lanarkshire business employing nearly 100 people has warned its bars and nightclub face closure unless there is immediate government support for the hospitality and night-time industry.

If no support is given in new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s forthcoming Budget, the hospitality and night-time industry is predicting that “thousands” of businesses and jobs will be lost over the next few months.
