Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

What steps the Government is taking to support high street businesses.

High streets are changing, and the Government is committed to helping communities adapt.

In Budget 2018, we set out Our Plan for the High Street, a £1.6bn package to support the sustainable transformation of our high streets.

This includes a £675m Future High Streets Fund, support for local leadership with a High Streets Task Force, and a one third cut to the business rates bills of eligible small retailers for two years from April this year.
