Holiday Accommodation: Licensing

Asked by Jayne KirkhamLabour (Co-op)Department for Culture, Media and SportTabled Answered 9 September 2024UIN 4135

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when she plans to bring forward legislation on short term lets licensing.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 is already in place. This will enable us to reap the benefits of a thriving visitor economy whilst protecting the spirit and fabric of communities, including by giving local authorities valuable data on short-term lets in their area to help address possible housing impacts. We will set out further detail on how the scheme will work as soon as practicable.
