tabling member printed	Baroness McIntosh of Pickering
uin	HL5259
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2017 answer text <p>Business rates are based on valuations from the Valuation Office Agency and we do not intervene in their independent assessments. Rateable values are assessed to consistent standards and generally reflect the open market rental value of the property. And it is for the Valuation Office Agency to decide how to apply these standards to the circumstances of each property. A £3.6 billion transitional relief scheme will provide support for the minority who do face an increase.</p><p /> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 20/02/2017 17:03:58 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
