Business Rates

Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Business Rates.
I am grateful to the Government for their recognition of the importance of SMEs. Can the Minister please find a way to ensure that the 2010 revaluation will shift the burden of business rates away from small businesses on our high streets and trading estates and towards much larger businesses, for which business rates are a much smaller proportion of turnover, and often profits?
