Mr Joshua Reynolds

Liberal Democrat — Maidenhead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2024

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend mentions several businesses in her constituency that will be impacted by the changes. I spoke recently to a small restaurant owner in my constituency. They have six restaurants across the south of England and they say that the business rates changes, plus other Budget measures, will cost their business £150,000 just to do what they are doing today. Does she agree with me that that will not encourage such businesses to invest in the UK, open new restaurants and help grow the economy, which we all want?
