Kevin Hollinrake

Conservative — Thirsk and Malton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 March 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

The Minister says that the solution that he has alighted on meets his manifesto commitment, but his manifesto says, “This new system will level the playing field between the high street and online giants”. That is not what the provision does—not exclusively. He knows that it levies extra taxes, extra business rates, on high street stores, large department stores, supermarkets, football stadiums and many others. They are not online giants.
