uin	168153
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>High streets are a crucial part of our communities, and the Government recognises the sector faces challenges. That’s why we recently announced a call for evidence looking at the future of our high streets. We are establishing a panel of industry leaders to diagnose the issues currently affecting our high streets, and advise on the best long-term approach to help their revival.</p><p>The Government has introduced a range of business rates reforms and measures worth over £10 billion to 2023. This includes increasing the threshold for Small Business Rates Relief, meaning over 600,000 small businesses - occupiers of a third of all properties – pay no business rates at all. We have also brought forward the switch in the annual indexation of business rates from Retail Price Index to the main measure of inflation, currently Consumer Price Index. Bringing forward this measure two years earlier than previously planned is worth £2.3 billion over the next 5 years.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 04/09/2018 14:57:56 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The ban on letting agent fees to tenants was first announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement. An eight week public consultation ran from April to June 2017, which informed the provisions of the Tenant Fees Bill to ban letting fees paid by tenants. We published the Bill in draft on 1 November and it was scrutinised by the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. The Committee made a number of recommendations to refine the Bill on 29 March.</p><p>The Tenant Fees Bill was introduced to Parliament in the House of Commons on 2 May 2018, received its Second Reading on 21 May with unanimous support, and passed through Committee stage on 12 June. Report and Third Reading are scheduled for 5 September 2018 and the Bill will then move to the House of Lords. However, Parliamentary timetables are subject to change.</p><p>We are committed to bringing the ban on letting fees as soon as possible but implementation is subject to Parliamentary timetables. We do not expect the ban to be in force before spring 2019.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 04/09/2018 15:01:23 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
