Business Rate Supplements Bill

It is only fair to point out that the business rate element for Crossrail plays only a very small part in the entire funding of the scheme.

A very small proportion of the overall funding for Crossrail as a whole will come from this legislation. Much of it will come from a number of other sources and not least from central Government.
