Business Rates

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Business Rates.
Can the hon. Lady explain her party's policy on transitional relief? By definition, at some point that comes to an end. Is she saying that it should always last for five years, instead of four? Does she accept that, given the ability to defer part of the rate increase, 60 per cent. of the transitional relief, which ends in the fifth year, can be deferred to the next two years?
