Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:52 pm on 16 January 2018.
Thank you very much. I move that we approve the Non-Domestic Rating (Multiplier) (Wales) Order 2018. The Order sets the non-domestic rating multiplier for the purposes of 2018-19. I recognise that there has been limited time for Members to consider the Order. This was necessary because of the timing of the announcement of the Chancellor in the autumn budget to proceed with processes to increase the multiplier in England using the CPI, the consumer price index, rather than the retail price index, the RPI.
