Labour (Co-op) — Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2025

Debate

Pubs: Non-domestic Rates

Contribution

Well, if it is intended to be a tax grab on pubs, we are not doing a very good job of it, because when the permanent scheme comes in, 99% of pubs that are under the £500,000 threshold will benefit from it. We absolutely recognise the importance of our community pubs in propping up the community and giving them places to meet, and to the economy and the good jobs that they provide.
