James Murray

Labour (Co-op) — Ealing North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2026

Debate

High Streets and Town Centres

Contribution

April 2027, as we announced at the Budget. As I set out in my earlier responses, to help businesses on high streets across the country we are making sure that all retail, hospitality and leisure properties in England get a real-terms two-year freeze in their business rates bills or see them reduced or cut to zero.
