Clause 63 - Small business relief
Local Government Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Christopher Leslie (Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office; Shipley, Labour)
The right hon. Gentleman makes a fair point. I suspect that the discount may apply to ordinary ratepayers and not necessarily to those that already receive special rates. It is unlikely that charity shops will have two reliefs, but if I am wrong I will write to the right hon. Gentleman.
I want to make progress and reply to previous questions before I take new ones. However, I will give way to the hon. Gentleman.
