answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>Vacant properties are not in the interest of tenants, landlords or communities. That is why at Autumn Budget 2018, as part of Our Plan for the High Street, we committed to piloting a register of empty commercial properties and supporting communities to make use of empty properties as part of broad plans for the regeneration of our high streets and town centres. The Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee’s inquiry into High Streets and Town Centres in 2030, made a recommendation to review existing policy on vacant commercial properties. The Government is considering the recommendation and will publish our response to the Select Committee in due course.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 11/03/2019 16:50:09 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government considers the rents paid by tenants of commercial property to be an individual commercial decision between the landlord and tenant. We do not currently have any plans to intervene in such decisions so as not to restrict growth, distort the market or cause other unintended impacts. The Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee’s inquiry into High Streets and Town Centres in 2030, made a recommendation to review upwards only rent reviews. The Government is considering this recommendation and will publish our response to the Select Committee in due course.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 11/03/2019 16:44:02 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
