Chancellor's Vat Reduction
I've just read about the Chancellor's VAT reduction for the hospitality sector. Seems to be lots of stuff about how staying in a hotel will be cheaper from next Wednesday. Attractions such as theme parks will also cost less. Does anyone know if this reduction will apply to hiring a narrowboat on a UK canal for a holiday too? It would be a holiday that includes accommodation after all in the same sense as a hotel room.
The major hirers such as Hoseseasons seem to be keeping schtum right now on how it will affect prices with no mention of the VAT change on their websites.
Thanks

I don't get what's wrong with over 75s not getting free tv licence anymore. People over 75 are not necessarily poorer than people under 75, and in recent times have been protected from the effects of covid (probably didn't have a job to lose; didn't get a 20% cut in their benefits unlike people who have been furloughed; people who get pension credit will still get it free)

it was forced on the BBC by the government in the first place (Gordon Brown, I think), a sort of election bribe to be paid by the BBC and not the government, so it's not something that's been around for ever. Now the government is leaning on them to cut costs so they've had to remove it. If Boris wants it to stay, he could get the government to pay for it; but I bet he doesn't any more than Brown did.
