Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

My amendment requests a delay until 2027—only one year—to give the Government an opportunity to consider unforeseen negative consequences and put in place damage limitations protections, which could then be introduced in time. It would avoid the collision of this new law with the introduction of the new valuation list. At its heart, it would rescue many organisations from unfairness—a fundamental tenet of taxation. All I am asking for is an additional year to allow for comprehensive assessments of the impact that this Bill will have on businesses.
