Answer: Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much has been spent on (a) provision of parking spaces for civil servants and (b) parking tickets and penalties incurred by civil servants in the Department in each year since 1997. [213810] Ms Hewitt: My Department does not make any separate provision for car parking and the only parking spaces on the DTI HQ estate are those integral with the buildings.
