Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Gareth Thomas)

We have frozen the small business multiplier for 2025-26, protecting over 1 million ratepayers from bill increases, and we are creating a fairer business rates system that protects the high street and supports investment. Our forthcoming SME strategy will set out further plans to help businesses on the high street and beyond.
