The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when she plans to announce changes to business rates.

Answered by James Murray

The government is committed to delivering a fairer business rates system by levelling the playing field between the high street and online giants, better incentivising investment, tackling empty properties and supporting entrepreneurship.

Any decisions on future tax policy will be announced by the Chancellor at a fiscal event.
