Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance, pursuant to AQW 7017/17-22, (i) why only one grant could be paid in respect of each qualifying property if more than one business operated in that property; and (ii) how Land Property and Property Services determine which businesses in each qualifying property was paid the grant.

Answer:

This policy was set by the Department for the Economy (DfE).

In line with the policy guidance from DfE, LPS paid the grant to the named ratepayer on the rate account where more than one business occupied the property.
