Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress his Department has made on its review of business rates; and what the projected timetable is for that review.
The deadline for responses to the business rates review was 12 June 2015. We have been undertaking analysis and considering the wide variety of views put forward in stakeholder responses.
The Summer Budget confirmed that the review will be fiscally neutral and will conclude by the end of the year.
