Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what representations she has received from the Mayor of London on a tourist tax for London.
I have received representations on this issue from the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority and discuss funding matters with Mayors in the course of my work as the Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution.
The government has no plans to introduce a tourist tax, but keeps all taxes under review.
