Councils do not need the permission of Whitehall to levy such local discounts.</p><p> </p><p>The Localism Act 2011 gave local authorities in England powers to grant business rates discounts. We have urged authorities to use their powers to provide relief to cash machines where there is a clear community benefit, such as where cash machine providers commit to introduce extra cash machines or reduce charges on existing machines. Central government now funds 50% of local discounts.</p><p> </p><p>We also announced at the 2014 Autumn Statement an extra £650 million of support for 2015-16 business rates bills in England, bringing the total support from 2013 and 2014 Autumn Statement measures to £1.4 billion in 2015-16.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Kris Hopkins question first answered 20/01/2015 17:25:10 answering member 4043 label Biography information for Kris Hopkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2015 answer text <p>Following the fire at the council offices on 15 January local business continuity arrangements were immediately put into place. Telephone calls were made to Councillor John Cotton, leader of South Oxfordshire District Council, and Councillor Ian Hudspeth, leader of Oxfordshire County Council, on the day to offer support and no central government assistance was requested. I would like to pay tribute to Oxfordshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service, and to neighbouring fire and rescue services that supported them, for their response to this incident, and to council officials who have maintained essential council services. Officials from Fire, Resilience and Emergencies Directorate have been in contact with Oxfordshire's Chief Fire Officer, Dave Etheridge.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 20/01/2015 17:24:18 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
