Tory Central Scotland MSP, Graham Simpson, is urging the Government to maintain business rates relief in this week’s budget - including for newspaper businesses.
Ahead of tomorrow's (Thursday) Scottish budget, Mr Simpson is calling on the SNP-Green coalition to keep in place a 75 per cent rates relief for businesses including newspaper premises, as well as leisure, retail, hospitality and aviation firms.
Mr Simpson believes the freeze on poundage rates should be kept for all of these firms, including newspaper premises in Lanarkshire.
