Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Sir Mel Stride
Sir James Cleverly
Rebecca Harris
Richard Fuller
Mark Garnier
Gareth Davies
James Wild
That this House notes recent reports that the Government is considering a wide range of increases to taxes on property; notes the Prime Minister’s commitment last year not to impose Capital Gains Tax on primary residences; and calls on the Government not to introduce an annual property levy which would tax the family home, higher rates of Council Tax, or a land value tax, or to lower the thresholds or further increase liability to Inheritance Tax, for example, by changing the seven-year gift rule.
Amendment (a)
Daisy Cooper
Wendy Chamberlain
Sarah Olney
Leave out from “notes” to end and insert “with concern that the current system of property taxation, through council tax and stamp duty, is unfair on people and bad for economic growth; condemns the failure of the previous Government to give powers to local authorities to regulate the number of short-term lets and second homes in their area, particularly in areas such as the South West and Cumbria; regrets that past approaches to property taxation have too often prioritised raising revenue in the short-term rather than proper reform to make the system better for renters, homeowners and the economy; further notes that such approaches risk entrenching inequalities, slowing down the housing market, making it harder for first-time buyers and for those wishing to downsize; calls on the Government to avoid any short-sighted changes solely aimed at raising more tax revenue; and instead urges the Government to ensure that a fair property taxation system is in place, that works for people in all parts of the UK, and which boosts economic growth.”
Andrew Griffith
Nigel Huddleston
Rebecca Harris
Rebecca Paul
Rebecca Smith
Bradley Thomas
Charlie DewhirstJoe RobertsonJohn CooperMr Peter BedfordPeter Fortune
That this House regrets the combination of catastrophic choices made by the Government causing the closure, downsizing and lack of hiring by pubs, restaurants, hotels and hospitality businesses across the United Kingdom, with an estimated 84,000 job losses over the last 12 months and an average of two site closures per day in the first half of 2025; further regrets the Government’s policies that have led to this such as the omission of the hospitality sector from the Government’s industrial strategy, increases in the cost of pavement licences, the reduction in retail, hospitality and leisure business rates relief from 75 per cent to 40 per cent for 2025-26, the increase in employers’ National Insurance contributions to 15 per cent and the lowering of the secondary threshold to £5,000, and measures in the Employment Rights Bill which will make hospitality employers liable for the behaviour of customers and others; and calls on the Government to publish a dedicated strategy for the sector, to consult with hospitality employers prior to any future changes to the National Living Wage, to amend the Employment Rights Bill to protect seasonal and flexible employment practices vital to the sectors’ contribution in providing a ladder into employment for young and often excluded groups and to introduce targeted support measures to prevent further business closures, job losses and damage to local communities.
Amendment (a)
Sarah Olney
Daisy Cooper
Wendy Chamberlain
Leave out from “House” to end and insert “notes with concern that hospitality businesses such as pubs, restaurants, cafes and hotels, which are vital for local communities, jobs and growth, are being let down by unfair taxes, soaring energy bills and a broken business rates system; regrets that the previous Government broke their promise to reform business rates, leaving small businesses trapped with an outdated and unfair system; condemns the rise in employer National Insurance contributions as an unfair tax on jobs that hits hospitality hardest, especially part–time workers; further notes that cuts to business rates relief mean small independent firms will lose out while large corporate chains benefit across multiple sites; further regrets that energy market failures continue to leave SMEs facing unaffordable bills; calls on the Government to scrap the damaging employer National Insurance contributions rise which hits hospitality disproportionately hard, correct its unfair business rates changes and implement the Liberal Democrat plan to halve energy bills in a decade; and urges the Government to deliver a fairer deal for hospitality by fixing the business rates system, reforming the energy market and boosting apprenticeships to tackle skills shortages.”
