answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>Since Budget 2016 the Government has introduced business rates measures in England worth more than £13 billion over the next five years. This includes switching the indexation of business rates from the retail price index to the consumer price index, representing a cut in rates to all ratepayers, including childcare providers, worth around £6 billion over the next five years. The Government has also doubled the threshold for 100 per cent small business rate relief meaning that over 675,000 businesses including many childcare providers are no longer subject to rates.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 18/07/2019 12:56:57 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
