Written Question
Caravan Sites
Wednesday 10th June 2020

Asked by: Karl Turner (Labour - Kingston upon Hull East)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, when he plans to issue guidance on the reopening of caravan parks in accordance with the Good to Go pan-UK kite mark scheme for tourism businesses.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

My Department has been working closely with the sector, including the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA), through the Visitor Economy Working Group to produce guidance on the reopening of the tourism sector. This will include guidance on hotels, caravans and other guest accommodation. This guidance will be published shortly.

VisitEngland are working on a common industry standard quality mark. Whilst work is ongoing, it will be designed to complement COVID-19 Secure Guidelines produced by the Government.

We will look at opening forms of holiday accommodation in Step 3 of the government’s recovery strategy, currently planned for 4 July at the earliest. This will be subject to the further scientific advice and the latest risk assessment at the time.

We remain in regular contact with caravan park stakeholders - including the BH&HPA - through the Visitor Economy Working Group and the Tourism Industry Emergency Response Group.

Answered by Helen Grant - Shadow Solicitor General

The Government is committed to tackling crime and ensuring the safety of staff and customers in betting shops and welcomes the Safe Bet Alliance initiative.

The SBA is a collaborative initiative which includes the Association of British Bookmakers (ABB) and Metropolitan Police among others. I have had numerous meetings with the ABB to discuss a range of issues including gambling related harm, crime and staff safety.
