Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026

Debate

Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

On the questions around the definition of “single visit”—which is one of the qualifications for full package status—we will be engaging with businesses on that. We will provide guidance in the summer, before the commencement of this statutory instrument, so that the guidance is in place for businesses. That also goes for the other questions on definitions, and for the questions asked by businesses about tests around other aspects—for example, the question of what qualifies as a “tourist service”—which we can continue to talk to businesses about. We considered making changes to the detail of “tourist services”, but we considered that any changes were likely to add more complexity, rather than provide simplification.
