answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The ban on letting fees in Scotland was clarified in 2012. The private rented sector in Scotland has continued to grow and in 2016 made up 15 per cent of households compared with 13 per cent in the 2012 Scottish Household Survey. The Scottish Government estimate the number of letting agents currently operating in Scotland is around 1,700. This demonstrates that good and innovative agents will continue to have a market in which to thrive.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/07/2018 14:30:30 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>It is very difficult to understand the direct impact of the ban on fees on rental levels in Scotland since there are many different economic factors to take into account. Rents have risen on a cumulative basis no faster in Scotland since 2012 than in England and the sector remains healthy. According to ONS data, between 2012 and 2018, rents increased on average by 12 per cent in England compared to 6 per cent in Scotland.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/07/2018 14:32:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

Our policy is that all local government structural or boundary changes should be locally-led, and hence it would not be appropriate for the Secretary of State to request a review of the boundary between Lewes District and East Sussex County Councils, and Brighton and Hove City Council – any such request should be made by the councils concerned.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/07/2018 14:35:15 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

A review of this kind is known as a Principal Area Boundary Review (PABR).</p><p>The Commission’s current policy is that it would only agree to carry out a PABR if there was support from all authorities involved in the potential boundary change, that the proposal represented value for money for local taxpayers and there is evidence of public support for the proposition.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 19/07/2018 14:22:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

uin	163512
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>Second homes are liable for council tax, not business rates. However, where a property is available for letting commercially for short periods totalling at least 140 days per year, then it will be assessed for business rates and added to the business rates list. As of June 2018, there were 47,307 holiday lets liable for business rates in England. The table below provides the figures by local authority. Small Business Rate Relief provides 100 per cent relief from business rates on properties with a rateable value of £12,000 or less, provided the business uses only one property (though relief may still be available under certain circumstances). The Department does not hold information on the number of recipients of Small Business Rates Relief by type of property.</p><p>The 140-day rule is widely understood and provides a clear and stable method of deciding whether a property should be liable for council tax or business rates. In particular, it ensures that properties do not switch year-to-year between council tax and business rates merely due to success in letting out the property. It is right that genuine holiday lets, many of which are small businesses, should be able to apply for Small Business Rate Relief. However, the Government takes any concerns about possible council tax avoidance seriously, and is considering whether the criteria under which holiday lets are valued for business rates are appropriate.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Local authority</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of holiday lets on the rating list</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Adur</p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Allerdale</p></td><td><p>1,006</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Amber Valley</p></td><td><p>78</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Arun</p></td><td><p>102</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashfield</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashford</p></td><td><p>140</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aylesbury Vale</p></td><td><p>21</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Babergh</p></td><td><p>118</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Barnsley</p></td><td><p>23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Barrow-in-Furness</p></td><td><p>12</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Basildon</p></td><td><p>12</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Basingstoke &amp;
