Business question from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Could the Leader of the House find time for a debate about business rates? I appreciate that many businesses are getting a rate cut as a result of a revaluation, but many also face rises and the transitional relief scheme still allows some businesses to pay as much an 11 per cent. increase in their business rates. In difficult economic times that is an awful lot of money for a small business, and this needs to be reconsidered.
