Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill: Reasoned Amendment to Second Reading
What the vote was about
The House considered a reasoned amendment to the Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill, which would change how business rates multipliers are calculated and remove charitable rate relief for private schools. The amendment sought to challenge the bill's principles rather than its technical details. For Cornwall, this matters because business rates shape the costs of high-street and coastal tourism businesses, while the private schools provisions affect the independent education sector.
Why this division is tracked here
Business rates directly affect Cornwall's shops, hospitality and tourism firms, so a bill altering multipliers is locally significant.
