Answer from Hansard

The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury (James Murray)

We are determined to go further and faster to reform business rates, which is why we will publish an update paper in the summer. I am also glad that we can work with councils such as Ipswich to ensure that we can turn around town centres after years of Conservative decline.
