This Government have done a great deal in terms of providing business rate reliefs, which were announced in previous Budgets and are, I think, well known to the House. There will be more to come on that in the Finance Bill.
Mr Philip Hollobone (Kettering) (Con)
Will the Minister tell the House by how much the corporation tax take has gone up since the corporation tax rate was cut?
Mel Stride
This is an important point. As the corporation tax rate has decreased to 19%—it will go down further to 17%—we have seen a 50% increase in the take, which is an amount in the order of £18 billion.
