This is complemented by work with senior sponsors in each of the key construction departments to identify areas to offer greater support, or to identify challenging areas where more guidance or training is required. Finally, compliance with the Playbook principles is assessed on a ‘comply or explain’ basis as part of the Cabinet Office commercial controls process.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 13/12/2022 11:00:23 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

This additional fund is aimed at small businesses with ongoing fixed property-related costs. We are asking local authorities to prioritise businesses in shared spaces, regular market traders, small charity properties that would meet the criteria for Small Business Rates Relief, and bed and breakfasts that pay council tax rather than business rates. But local authorities may choose to make payments to other businesses based on local economic need. The allocation of funding will be at the discretion of local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 05/05/2020 10:39:00 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully previous answer version 18650 answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
