These framework agreements will provide the basis for annual negotiations on fishing opportunities and access to waters. In the forthcoming annual negotiations, the UK will seek to ensure the best possible outcomes for the whole of the UK fishing industry and our marine environment.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Defra officials are engaging regularly with their Greenlandic counterparts on opportunities for enhancing bilateral fisheries cooperation between the UK and Greenland.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the business rates system; and when they expect to make any resulting changes to the system of business rates in England.

uin	HL9256
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>The government concluded a fundamental review of business rates at Budget 2016 and decided that business rates should remain as a property tax. Respondents to the review agreed that property based taxes were easy to collect, difficult to avoid, relatively stable compared to other taxes and had a clear link with local authority spending. They also raise revenue in a way that is less distortionary than some other taxes. There was no consensus on an alternative tax base. Following the review, the government introduced reforms and reductions worth over £10bn by 2023 to cut the burden of business rates.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 19/07/2018 15:40:51 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
