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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact that the overnight visitor levy will have on (1) families on fixed incomes taking holidays in England, and (2) small business in the hospitality sector.

The impacts of the overnight visitor levy will be determined by local decisions. It will be for Mayors and local leaders to decide whether to introduce a levy, subject to local consultation on specific proposals. We expect local leaders to engage constructively with businesses and communities, and to publish an assessment of the impact of their proposals.
