Part of Business and Trade – in the House of Commons at on 13 March 2025.
Gareth Thomas
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
I will give careful consideration to my hon. Friend’s very generous offer. In answer to Bradley Thomas I mentioned business rates reform, which could make a significant difference for many businesses in the night-time economy. Another crucial issue that we want to tackle is the rising crime and antisocial behaviour on our high streets. As she will know, the Crime and Policing Bill, which is beginning its journey through Parliament, will make a significant difference in that regard.
