	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>I can confirm that Airbnb is not currently an FCA-authorised firm. However, it is not for the Government to comment on the regulatory status of individual firms. It is for the FCA to decide whether a firm should be brought into regulation, based on a detailed assessment of that firm’s activities, and with reference to the regulations that the FCA is responsible for enforcing. It is for firms to review their own business operations to see whether they are carrying out regulated activities.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 02/03/2016 16:48:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
