Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2024

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

The Minister talks about certainty, but one of the biggest problems for small businesses is that so many things are happening at once, including the national insurance contributions increase, the Employment Rights Bill that is coming in, and now the levy that has been cut down from 70% to 40%. The cumulative effect of all those makes a massive difference for my businesses. A hairdresser that I met only this weekend talked about how much of a problem that will be. How does the measure help to engender stability for those small businesses, which have to wait until 2026?
