The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who the stakeholders were that they obtained evidence from during the call for Evidence Business Rates review, which closed on 18th Feb.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

We received responses to the Call for Evidence on Business Rates and Investment, from a range of organisations including Business Representative Organisations, Local Authorities, Retail, Hospitality and Leisure businesses and other sectors.

We are carefully considering representations we’ve received, and a Government response to the Call for Evidence will be published in due course.
