The UK has the second highest tidal range in the world after Canada and yet we barely make any use of it.

@timfarron This summer (on an extremely hot day) I was advised not to take a group of adults with learning disabilities and health issues, to a meeting in Newcastle. The staff member at Oxenholme went out of her way to provide a full refund. Online there would have been a ยฃ10 charge.
Currently two houses opposite me in Kendal are second homes. Precisely the kind of two bedroomed cottages needed by first time buyers. We need planning controls for second homes and holiday lets.
Excessive second home ownership in places like the Lakes robs young people of the chance to afford a home in the area they grew up in, with local businesses unable to find staff as result.
Last night I tabled an amendment to make second homes exempt from the cut in stamp duty.
