Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Future of Town Centres and High Streets.


Future of Town Centres and High Streets

My hon. Friend eloquently lays out the reasons why many town centres are falling on hard times. Has he noted Mary Portas's remarks about the motor car? In market towns, and in rural areas, a car is no luxury, and it is essential for the vibrancy of those towns that there is adequate parking. What does he feel about that and, in particular, Portas's remarks about a league table for car parks?
