question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of short-term holiday lets on the availability of housing for those who wish to live in London.
tabling member printed	Baroness Gardner of Parkes
uin	HL627
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>The Government has not made such an assessment. However, restrictions are in place to limit the use of residential property for short-term let in London. The Deregulation Act 2015 imposes a 90-day limit on any such letting within a single calendar year.</p><p>The sharing economy plays an important role in accommodating tourists, who make a huge financial contribution to the country. But there are also legitimate concerns about the impact on local communities. The Government remains open to hearing the views of all stakeholders on the matter. It is important to find ways to address these concerns without placing too great a burden on the growing sharing economy.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 03/02/2020 16:54:20 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
