The Government recognises the impact rising prices are having on businesses.<\/p>
<\/p>
Businesses in Batley and Spen will have benefitted from the Government\u2019s reversal of the National Insurance rise, saving SMEs approximately £4,200 on average, cut to fuel duty for 12 months, raising the Employment Allowance to £5,000 and the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, to protect SMEs from high energy costs over the winter.
