The legislation would hand regional mayors and local authorities powers to impose taxes on overnight accommodation, with 10 of England's 14 regional mayors now planning or actively considering introducing the levy.The proposals come as UK temperatures are forecast to climb as high as 33C over the bank holiday, raising the prospect of breaking the 32.8C May record set in Camden Square in 1922.Health agencies have issued heat alerts as conditions are expected to remain hot and dry across much of England from Friday into next week.
