Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what her planned timetable is for the reform of business rates.
Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)
The government made a manifesto commitment to a fairer business rates system that levels the playing field between online giants and the high street, supports investment and entrepreneurship and tackles empty properties. Further information on business rates reforms will be set out in due course.
