FAIR RATES FOR RETAIL

Business rates rose dramatically in both 2011 and 2012, adding more than half a billion pounds to retailers' rates bills. Shop vacancy numbers and retail employment are already being hit.

The Chancellor should have used his Autumn Statement to remove the threat of a further increase next April to avoid more empty shops. It is still not too late for the Chancellor to offer a business rates freeze to prevent that.
