Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill

"My right hon. Friend makes a noble point, to which I will allow our hon. Friend the Minister to respond.

Written Question
Holiday Accommodation: Registration
Tuesday 18th January 2022

Asked by: Selaine Saxby (Conservative - North Devon)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, when the Government plans to begin the planned consultation on the introduction of a Tourist Accommodation Registration scheme.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

The Government intends to launch a consultation later in 2022, but will begin the process by launching a call for evidence in the coming weeks.

The call for evidence will seek views on a range of issues that arise from the increase in short-term holiday letting, not just on housing supply but also on matters such as compliance with health and safety regulations and the impact on anti-social behaviour.

I have already begun the process of informally consulting with stakeholders across the sector on this issue. For example, in late December I held several roundtables with attendees from the private sector, Local Authorities, tourism representative groups and others.

Ultrafast Broadband: Devon and Somerset

"I thank the Minister for her clarifications this afternoon. We have already talked about the low take-up of gigabit in some areas. Is she able to clarify whether that is because some of my constituency is served by small providers who are not wholesalers, which is not the same as …..."
