The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is a scheme, set up by the Labour government and continued by all successive governments, that pays compensation to members of eligible Defined Benefit pension schemes, whose sponsoring employer has become insolvent and where there are insufficient funds in the scheme to secure benefits at or above the level of PPF compensation. It was never intended to replicate in full the pension rights of schemes that, as a result of their employer\u2019s insolvency, do not have sufficient assets to secure the pension benefits initially promised to their members. The usage of the PPF, when the Bernard Matthews Pension Fund transferred to the PPF did not result in any capping of members benefits.<\/p>"}

The Government is committed to conducting a fundamental review of business rates and will announce details in due course. The Government will also increase the business rates retail discount from one-third to 50% in 2020/21 and extend eligibility to independent cinemas and grassroots music venues for the first time.<\/p>
This is on top of repeated action taken by the Government to reduce the burden of rates by £13bn over the next five years. This includes doubling the threshold for Small Business Rate Relief, meaning 675,000 of the smallest businesses pay no business rates at all, and switching from RPI to the lower rate of CPI indexation which is worth over £6bn in savings to businesses.<\/p>"}
