I am sorry, I missed that. I did not understand the last question.

I am asking the noble Baroness whether, in preparing her speech, she has been privy to the results of the consultation.

No, I have come to present the view of my declared interest in this new sector of the economy. I am not privy to that information.

The Government’s proposals aim to allow people to short-term let their residences while they are away, while ensuring that local communities are protected. I believe that the right balance has been struck. That is why I support the reform and urge your Lordships to vote in favour of the government amendment and against the other amendments which have been tabled on the issue.
