James Murray

Labour (Co-op) — Ealing North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2026

Debate

High Streets and Town Centres

Contribution

I am very glad to hear that more than a thousand retail, hospitality and leisure properties in Redbridge may benefit from a real-terms freeze in their business rates bills, giving them real breathing space over the next two years. We are also helping high street businesses through our new high streets strategy, which was published at the Budget, providing £210 million to transform derelict buildings into the new anchors of our high streets across the country.
