Lord Sharkey (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Business Rates Reform

Contribution

My Lords, can the Minister say which of the recommendations set out in the 2023 report on business improvement districts have been implemented? In particular, what consideration have the Government given to reinstating the BID loan fund? What plans are there to set up more property owner BIDs outside London, as the report recommended? Are there any plans to assist with the setting up of BIDs in regions in the north and east, where they are scarce?
