Someone commenting on the Queen's Speech yesterday noted that the Tory plans on Business Rate Retention were not mentioned - implying that this means that they won't go ahead.

Bad news for West Berkshire if this is the case.

Could be because it is already in law...

It would only be in the Queen's Speech if they intended not to do it

Nice idea, but sadly not the case. https://transport-network.co.uk/100-busines...n-dropped/14200

Latest news on the Local Government Finance Bill 2016-17 (http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2016-17/localgovernmentfinance.html)

The Bill was to be considered at Report Stage and Third Reading.

However, as a General Election has now been called and Parliament will be dissolved from 3 May 2017, the Bill falls and no further action will be taken.


Seems to me that this was a Cameron/Osborne localisation idea that doesn't fit with May's Tory party.
