Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Toby Perkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill.

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for talking about the fact that although we support the Bill in its narrow terms, it could have offered much more, and particularly grateful for her making the point about business rates. I remember being in the shadow business Department team back in 2014, and the Government were promising to change the business rates system back then. We have had any number of talks about it since, and so many businesses on the high streets know how unfair the regime is, yet we still have not had that action. Does my hon. Friend welcome the announcement of my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) that a future Labour Government will address this unfairness?
