The main priority of the Government is that funding can get out to eligible businesses as quickly as possible.</p><p>On 1 May 2020, the Business Secretary announced the Local Authority Discretionary Grants Fund, which is aimed at small businesses with ongoing fixed property-related costs - not linked to the business rates system. Where local authorities have surplus funding from their original allocations, they can use up to 5% of their allocation to provide these discretionary grants. Local authorities that have used, or expect to use, all of their allocation will receive an additional 5% to meet the cost of these discretionary grants.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 05/05/2020 09:08:10 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 18630 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
