Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 May 2023. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill

We are simplifying the issue of the high street. I have listened a number of times to what has been said about business rates, and I have explained how much the Government are putting in to supporting properties in the high street through the revaluation process, et cetera. The Government provide rate relief to help property owners all the time, but the issue of empty properties in the high street is much more complex than that, so there are a number of things we want to address, and one of them is what we are doing in this Bill.

I was saying that I will write to the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, because I would like some further information from the Department for Transport.
