The market resolves on the Bills register at bills.parliament.uk, which records a first reading on the day it happens. YES if a Bill whose long title or clauses provide for an overnight visitor or accommodation levy in England is recorded as introduced in either chamber on or before 25 November 2026; a clause added by amendment to another Bill counts from the day the amendment is published. If that source has not published in time, BBC News and PoliticsHome reports of the introduction settle it.
We looked at every time since 2007 that the UK government announced a new levy or tax that councils or mayors in England would charge and keep. For each we asked one question: did a Bill giving that power have its first reading in Parliament within twelve months of the first government paper? Changes that needed no Bill are left out. Five cases fit, too few for us to show a percentage. The visitor levy, announced on 25 November 2025, is the open sixth.
