Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance whether he will consider providing further rates relief to food service companies in 2020/21.

Answer:

I have no current plans to further extend the business rate relief provided for this current financial year beyond that already agreed. Food service companies may be eligible for Covid Restrictions Business Support Scheme Part B which supports businesses in the supply chain that were forced to close or severely limit their operations as a result of the increased Health Protection Regulations.
