Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 2 April (HL14646), whether they will assess how a tax levied on hotel stays on a per night basis might affect cities and their tourism sectors; and if not, why not.
The Chancellor keeps the tax system under review, but has no plans to introduce a tax levied on hotel stays on a per night basis. Therefore, no such assessment is planned.
