Holiday Accommodation: Registration

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what her Department's timetable is for introducing a statutory registration scheme for holiday lets.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Parliament legislated for a registration scheme for short-term lets in the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023, and we are committed to introducing such a scheme as soon as possible. The initial phase of digital development is now complete, with public testing planned to start in the next 12 months. During this next phase, we will test a working interface with users to ensure our systems are robust and effective before launching a first version of the service.
