Lord Kennedy of Southwark
Shadow Spokesperson (Housing), Opposition Whip (Lords), Shadow Spokesperson (Communities and Local Government), Shadow Spokesperson (Home Affairs)
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the additional expenditure reductions that will be required of local authorities following the announcement of the changes to business rates made in the Budget.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
These tax cuts provide significant support to local businesses. The Small Business Rate Relief measure announced at the Budget will mean 600,000 of the smallest businesses will not have to pay business rates.
Local authorities will be compensated in full for their loss of income as a result of these changes.
