Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure that businesses in the local visitor economy have the ability to shape where proceeds received from the Overnight Visitor Levy are invested.

Where a Mayor or local leaders choose to take forward an overnight visitor levy, they will need to consult on specific proposals, including how any revenue should be invested, and consider the impacts for their area. This will help ensure that businesses and communities in the local visitor economy are able to shape decisions on the use of levy proceeds.
