John Healey's Budget includes plans to reduce bureaucracy for UK businesses, which the Treasury claims will save almost £800m in administrative and tariff costs. Concurrently, the British Chambers of Commerce warned that business must be central to Andy Burnham’s devolution plans for England. Historic pubs and hotels are also urging John Healey for a 5 percent discount on business rates to help protect heritage sites.
