Restrict Second Home Ownership in Non-English-Speaking UK Communities

Background

We ask the UK Government to introduce measures to limit second home ownership in communities where minority languages such as Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, or Cornish are widely spoken.

Additional details

High levels of second home ownership are reducing the availability of affordable housing for local residents and contributing to the decline of minority-language-speaking communities. Without intervention, these areas risk losing their cultural and linguistic heritage. The Government should act to protect both housing access and cultural sustainability.
