U-turn over business rates hike for pubs expected in coming days, Sky News understands
A package for pubs which could help with business rates is coming in the next few days, Sky News understands.
It comes after House of Commons leader Sir Alan Campbell addressed backbench concerns over the hospitality sector, which is facing the end of COVID-era support and a hike in business rates following Rachel Reeves' November budget. He said: "The prime minister has been absolutely clear on this, [we are] listening and that he's actively, we are actively looking at, further measures, to help pubs and the hospitality industry, whether these are in rural areas or in, urban areas." Sky's deputy political editor Sam Coates has now heard that a rescue package that could help with this is coming in the next few days - but only for pubs.
The climbdown includes a change to the methodology of the business rates calculation, plus "regulatory measures.
