Liberal Democrat — North Shropshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 January 2026

Debate

Business Rates

Contribution

I declare an interest in that my husband works for an independent wine merchant. Today’s news will be very welcome for the many pubs in North Shropshire that have been pushed to the brink over recent years by national insurance contributions increases, high energy bills and now business rates. However, this will not help shops or hotels such as the lovely Pen-y-Dyffryn in my constituency, the rateable value of which has nearly quadrupled. Will the Minister outline the timeline for his review of hotels in particular, and what other help can be given to retail and hospitality businesses?
