Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2026

Debate

Tourism: Overnight Visitor Levy

Contribution

My Lords, further to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Addington, a key proposal of the Cultural Policy Unit is a city tourism charge that would be ring-fenced for cultural infrastructure, including theatres, museums and heritage sites, which would in a cyclic way help the hospitality sector through encouraging tourism and redressing regional inequalities. However, that will not happen if this charge is squandered in other ways.
