The Government has been accused of misleading MPs over the effect of a business rate revaluation which could leave more than a quarter of companies facing higher bills.

Among the government's critics is the Conservative MP and former party chairman, Grant Shapps, who told the Daily Politics that some businesses in his constituency will be "whacked" by rises of up to 3000%.

Also on the programme were Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire and Labour's shadow international trade secretary, Barry Gardiner.
