The British Property Federation reacts to Liz Truss’ energy plan:

“The Prime Minister has delivered on her commitment to provide immediate support on soaring energy costs for individuals and businesses. Today’s announcement also recognises that vulnerable sectors will need further targeted support and the Business Secretary’s review must look at all options including the crippling burden of business rates – the Government must freeze the business rates multiplier for the next financial year to avoid significant inflationary uplifts and make sure that businesses whose rates are being reduced because of the last revaluation get the benefit of this reduction straight away.”
