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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the report published by AirBnB in June 2021 on short-term lets regulation; and if he will make a statement.

We want to encourage responsible short-term letting, where hosts behave in accordance with the law and with respect for both their guests’ safety and their neighbours’ peace. The Considerate Short-Term Lets Charter currently helps hosts to do so.

The Tourism Recovery Plan, published on 11 June 2021 by The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport commits to consulting on the introduction of a Tourist Accommodation Registration Scheme in England.
