Furnished Holiday Lettings Rules
EDM number 307 in 2009-10, proposed by Janet Anderson on 01/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Tourism.
That this House notes that the repeal of the furnished holiday lettings rules announced in the 2009 Budget will have negative and unintended consequences for providers of holiday lettings; believes that the negative impact of the repeal will lead to a reduction in the supply of self-catering accommodation in particular, resulting in a significant loss of jobs and damage to rural and seaside economies; further notes with concern the lack of any industry consultation on the repeal; and calls on the Government to conduct a full consultation and review of this policy change as soon as possible to ensure all affected parties have the opportunity to voice their concerns and to promote an understanding of and mitigate against any unintended consequences on tourism, especially in rural and seaside areas.
This motion has been signed by a total of 137 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
