PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Airbnb (10 July 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will hold discussions with Airbnb on ensuring that their suppliers comply with the requirement not to let their properties for more than 90 days each year.

Asked by:
Mark Pritchard (Conservative)

I have no current plans to discuss this specific matter with Airbnb. The government is setting up an Emerging Industry Action Group for the sharing economy. Through this group it will engage with the whole sector, including companies such as Airbnb, to ensure that they and their suppliers understand and operate under an effective and proportionate regulatory framework that ensures consumers are protected.
