Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to support high streets.

To restore high streets, we have announced measures to tackle organised crime, cut business rates for pubs, and stop the spread of vape shops and gambling outlets.

Later this year, we will publish a High Streets Strategy, setting out the longer-term plan for bringing life back to our town centres.
