The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when the proposed mandatory national register for short term lets will be introduced.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

We are committed to the introduction of the new national short-term lets registration service as soon as possible. The service entered user testing at the end of October 2025 to ensure it is robust, easy to use and meets the needs of the scheme, ahead of its public launch in 2026.
