Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department takes steps to monitor the impact of short term holiday lets on the supply of properties available for sale.

As part of the Tourism Recovery Plan published in June 2021, the Government committed to consult on the introduction of a Tourist Accommodation Registration Scheme in England.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport will launch a call for evidence soon, to gather evidence on the size and shape of the market, and the positive and negative impacts of short term lets. This will inform development of policy options for a consultation later this year.
