Tom Gordon

Liberal Democrat — Harrogate and Knaresborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 December 2024

Debate

Hospitality Sector: Eastleigh

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for bringing forward this debate. The high streets in both Harrogate and Knaresborough are struggling. Does she agree that the Government need to do more to reform business rates properly? That is the key that underpins the vibrancy of our local high streets. Reforming business rates would give an injection of cash and the ability to do what they do best.
