Deregulation Bill

I, too, hope to catch your eye in this debate, Madam Deputy Speaker. The Minister is a London MP, so he knows the pressures on the residential housing stock in London. Have not London local authorities, across the parties, made representations to stress that fact? For example, Westminster alone loses about 500 residential units every year to short-term lettings, because it is impossible to differentiate, in the way the Minister claims to do, between the holiday let and the extension of what is effectively the hospitality industry.
