answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>At Autumn Statement 2022, the Government announced a package of support worth £13.6 billion over the next five years.

We do not hold data on the number of these businesses that are pubs. The Government also froze the multiplier for 2022-23, which is a tax cut worth £4.6 billion to businesses over the next 5 years.</p><p> </p><p>The announcements at Autumn Budget 2021 builds on over £16 billion of business rates support already provided to the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors throughout the pandemic, including a business rates holiday for 2020-21 and a scheme worth £6 billion in 2021-22.</p><p> </p><p>Announcements on Business Rates for the upcoming financial year will be made in due course.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 17/10/2022 16:46:45 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller
