In advance of 100% retention, devolution deals are already giving some areas the ability to keep 100% of the actual growth in business rates they achieve above a pre-determined baseline. This will give them an added incentive to grow their local economies and increase their income from business rates.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 14/03/2016 16:28:03 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
