The Chancellor announced an increase in employers' contributions to National Insurance, and businesses in Northern Ireland will have to pay that. The Chancellor also announced a reduction of 40% in business rates for retail and hospitality to help them offset that impact. Whether Northern Ireland businesses get that or not is down to you, Minister. Will you include a comparable rate relief for retail and hospitality in Northern Ireland in your upcoming reforms of the rates system?
