The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if his department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the visitor levy on the fishing industry.

It will be for Strategic Authorities to decide whether to put in place an Overnight Visitor Levy in their area. Any impacts will largely be determined by local decisions, including whether local leaders choose to introduce a levy and the detail of any local scheme.
