Statutory review of Pubs Code and Pubs Code Adjudicator 2022 to 2025

Imported from official source

The Pubs Code and Pubs Code Adjudicator: statutory review, 2022 to 2025 is the third statutory review, covering the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025.

This consultation informed the review, as well as:

  • a PCA post implementation review​ (PIR), which analyses the costs and benefits of the code since its implementation in 2016

    • We are seeking views and evidence which will allow the government to assess the Pubs Code’s operation and the Pubs Code Adjudicator’s (PCA's) performance.

    This consultation was held on another website.

    This consultation ran from
    11am on 22 May 2025 to 11:59pm on 14 August 2025

    The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 provided for the establishment of the Pubs Code to regulate the relationship between large pub-owning businesses and their tied tenants in England and Wales.

    The Act requires the Secretary of State to review:

  • the performance of the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA)
  • the regulations setting the PCA’s costs, fees and financial penalties

    • As part of the review, we invite additional views and evidence from stakeholders to help inform the review’s conclusions. 

    We will also consider a range of evidence to inform a post-implementation review of the Pubs Code including views and evidence submitted from stakeholders. Under the Better Regulation Framework, the Department for Business and Trade is expected to complete a post-implementation review of the primary legislation and subsequent regulations. This review will consider the costs and benefits of the regulations since its implementation.

    The post-implementation review will consider:

  • the Code’s impact since it came into force in 2016
  • the extent to which the regulation is working
  • if the policy has achieved its objectives
  • whether the intervention is the most appropriate approach
  • if intervention and regulation is still required

    • We will process your personal data in accordance with all applicable data protection laws. See our privacy notice.
