Business Rates: Greater London

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish a list of the number of hereditaments in each local authority in Greater London categorised by Special Category Code (a) 303 Bars (Valued on Floor Space), (b) 199 Night Clubs and Discotheques and (c) 226 Public Houses/Pub Restaurants (National Scheme) in each of the last 10 years.

Answer

As part of its official statistics, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) publishes the number of hereditaments by Special Category Code and local authority. This is published for England and Wales between 2020 and 2024 within the stock of non-domestic properties collection: www.gov.uk/government/collections/non-domestic-rating-stock-of-properties-collection.

The requested information can be found under ‘Stock SCat Tables by region, county, local authority district and rateable value band’.

Prior to 2020, the official statistics did not separate the data at local authority level. There are no current plans to revisit previous publications of official statistics.
