Bed Tax

22:02:00

Mark Simmonds (Boston and Skegness) (Con)
I wish to present a petition signed by 2,732 residents on behalf of the Skegness Hoteliers Association, Skegness chamber of commerce and others.

The petition states:

The Petitioners declare their concern that the Government may be introducing a new tax known generically as the “bed tax”, which could have a negative impact on the UK holiday industry, affecting hoteliers, other businesses in the tourist industry and holidaymakers.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Treasury to reject their proposal for this proposed new tax.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

To lie upon the Table.
