Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans he has to bring forward proposals for the licensing of Airbnb and other short term holiday let providers.
The Government's Tourism Recovery Plan sets out our intention to consult on the introduction of a statutory registration scheme for tourism accommodation providers.
We intend to begin this process with a call for evidence in the new year. This will assist in developing proportionate, evidence-based policy options for a subsequent consultation.
