Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

The Minister mentions Wimbledon and I have no doubt that he is also thinking about things such as holiday lets. How many prosecutions have there been in respect of Wimbledon and holiday lets? The proposal is just about commercial lets. Is it not impossible to regulate such things in the way the Government intend? It is over-regulation to say that councils must apply for a waiver. Why does he not let localism take charge and allow local authorities decide for themselves?
