Amendments 7, 15 and 19, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Pinnock, seek to define retail, hospitality and leisure in the Bill. These amendments would remove the power in the Bill that enables the Treasury to define qualifying retail, hospitality and leisure through secondary legislation—a question she asked. Amendment 22 would require the Government to produce an assessment of the expected impact of Clauses 1 to 4 on RHL businesses, and to provide a comparison of the expected amount of non-domestic rates paid by these businesses since 1 April 2020.
