Public Houses: Business Rates

Asked by Sir Mel StrideConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 10 February 2026UIN 111100

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to publish the total business rates receipts from all pubs for each financial year from 2023-24 to 2029-30.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Local Authorities do not report to Central Government how much business rates revenue they raise from different types of businesses. The Government therefore does not have this data to publish and nor did the previous Government.
