Parking

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has to commence the provisions on consumer protection in the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019.

Answer

Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 requires the Secretary of State to prepare a code of practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities. The purpose of the Code of Practice is therefore to raise standards in the parking sector, which will, in turn, benefit the motorists who use private parking facilities.

The Government is currently reviewing how best to raise standards in the industry, and we plan to launch a consultation on this shortly.
