Written Question
Retail Trade: Urban Areas
Tuesday 29th January 2019

Asked by: Marcus Jones (Conservative - Nuneaton)

Question to the HM Treasury:

What fiscal steps he is taking to support the high street.

Answered by Robert Jenrick

Budget 2018 announced Our Plan for the High Street, which will provide £1.5bn to support high streets as they adapt to meet the changing needs of shoppers.

The Plan includes a £675m Future High Streets Fund, planning reform, a High Streets Taskforce and support for community assets.

It also includes one third off small retailers’ business rates bills for two years from April. [This is worth almost £900m to businesses.]
