Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with his European Union counterparts on (a) seeking to increase the level of profits from frozen Russian assets and (b) sharing the legal risks of doing taking such an approach.

Amusement Arcades
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of increasing the maximum value of (a) prizes and (b) stakes in arcades in line with inflation. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Government intends to consult on changes to maximum stakes and prizes for Category D gaming machines, to understand if this would be an appropriate way to support the family entertainment centre sector while maintaining protections for children and young people. Category D machines include seaside arcade staples, such as crane grabs and coin pushers. The consultation will seek evidence and feedback from a range of stakeholders on maximum stakes and prizes for these machines. We intend to launch the consultation this year. The Government does not have plans to review stakes and prizes for other categories of gaming machines at this time. |

Business Rates
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Thursday 16th October 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the higher business rates multiplier for larger premises on the (a) prices of essential goods, (b) shop closures, (c) regional employment levels and (d) footfall in town centres. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government is creating a fairer business rates system that protects the high street, supports investment, and is fit for the 21st century.
As set out at Autumn Budget 2024, the Government will introduce permanently lower tax rates for retail, hospitality, and leisure (RHL) properties with ratable values (RVs) below £500,000 from 2026-27. This permanent tax cut will ensure they benefit from much-needed certainty and support.
This tax cut must be sustainably funded, and so the Government will introduce a higher rate on the most valuable properties in 2026/27 - those with RVs of £500,000 and above. These represent less than one per cent of all properties, but cover the majority of large distribution warehouses, including those used by online giants.
The final design, including the rates, for the new business rates multipliers will be announced at Budget 2025, so that the Government can factor the revaluation outcomes and broader economic and fiscal context into decision-making. When the new multipliers are set, HM Treasury intends to publish analysis of the effects of the new multiplier arrangements. |
