Parking: Fees and Charges

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of parking companies charging for parking using mobile technology on people who do not have access to this technology; and whether he will take steps to require alternate payment methods to be made available.

The Government is taking action to improve the regulation of the private parking industry. My department is currently implementing the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, including the development of an independent Code of Practice that sets out straightforward rules that private parking companies must follow.
