To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the effect on high streets of ending small business rate relief.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Chancellor announced at the Autumn Statement that the doubling of Small Business Rate Relief will continue for a further year and therefore apply for the whole of 2016-17. Approximately 600,000 properties are benefitting, with 400,000 paying no business rates at all.
