Business Rates

Proceeding contribution from Alan Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Business Rates.
Is the hon. Lady saying, as her initial remarks suggested, that she would change the legislation on the basis on which the business rate is determined, with reference to the retail prices index; that contrary to everything that has happened since 1990, she would change the arrangements relating to transitional relief; and that she would change the arrangements relating to the raising of the business rate itself? Can she confirm that that is her party's policy from now on?
