PORT companies fighting crippling backdated business rates bills will take their campaign into the heart of government next Monday. Claire Curtis-Thomas, Labour MP for Crosby, is to host a reception for the port rating group in the House of Commons dining room, at which campaigners will highlight “conservative estimates” that 30,000 jobs and £1.2 billion of economic impact are at risk nationally. The issue is also expected to be raised by MPs during a debate on the economy on the same day.
