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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the overnight visitor levy will be applicable to scout camps organised by scouting units.

It will be for leaders of strategic authorities to decide, subject to consultation, whether to introduce levy. Strategic authorities will have the option to exempt certain types of accommodation in their areas, including dormitory-style accommodation like hostels, tent pitches, and touring caravan pitches.
