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

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

As with all tax policies, we will keep this under review, and I say that in a very general sense. We absolutely believe that the businesses that are the backbone of our high streets, town centres and communities would, were it not for these measures, go bust. They would not be viable and they would feel the heat very quickly. However, because of the measures we are taking, businesses will be able to plan with certainty for the future, knowing that they have a Government acting in partnership with them in that enterprise.
