To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the answer of 9 March 2026 to Question 115864 on Street Trading: Westminster Bridge, whether she has issued guidance to the police on enforcing the law on dangerous parking in areas of decriminalised parking enforcement; and what...
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the answer of 9 March 2026 to Question 115864 on Street Trading: Westminster Bridge, whether she has issued guidance to the police on enforcing the law on dangerous parking in areas of decriminalised parking enforcement; and what...
Decriminalised parking enforcement, rests with local authorities, who are best placed to manage local road networks and issue penalty charge notices. This is set out in statutory guidance for local authorities in England on civil enforcement of parking contraventions issued by Department for Transport. This approach removes a burden from the police, allowing them to focus on criminal activity.
However, the police retain powers to act where vehicles are dangerously or obstructively parked, including powers to remove those vehicles where necessary.
Operational decisions about enforcement activity, including on red lines and areas of decriminalised parking enforcement such as Westminster Bridge, are primarily for Transport for London, the relevant local authorities and on some occasions police, to decide, according to the specific circumstances.
The Home Office has not issued specific guidance to police forces on enforcing dangerous parking in areas subject to decriminalised parking enforcement. The police decide operational responses, based on specific circumstances, according to threat and risk assessments.
The Home Office has not made an assessment of the effectiveness of enforcement activity in relation to ice cream vans or pedicabs parked on red lines on Westminster Bridge. Enforcement in this case is primarily a matter for Transport for London and the local authority responsible for red routes and street trading,

That this House congratulates Alastair Dobson, Managing Director of Taste of Arran and Arran Dairies, on being presented the Marvin Benton Award, a lifetime achievement award, for services to the ice cream industry; recognises that the award, presented by the sector's trade association, the Ice Cream Alliance, is in recognition of Mr Dobson's achievements during a 23-year career in the sector and is the highest honour that the ICA can bestow; notes that Arran Dairies use only milk and cream from the island’s own dairy herds to hand-produce Italian style ice cream, free from artificial flavouring or colouring; acknowledges the skill and dedication of the team at Arran Dairies, and its passion for quality local produce; and commends Mr Dobson’s commitment to supporting not just the ice cream industry, but to promoting the fantastic array of quality food and drink produced on Arran.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make it his policy to include ice cream products sold for takeaway consumption in the temporary VAT reduction for the hospitality sector.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make it his policy to include ice cream products sold for takeaway consumption in the temporary VAT reduction for the hospitality sector.
The temporary reduced rate of VAT (5 per cent) was introduced on 15 July 2020 to support the cash flow and viability of about 150,000 businesses and protect over 2.4 million jobs in the hospitality and tourism sectors.
Ice cream served for consumption on the premises in ice cream parlours or other food establishments will benefit from the reduced rate.
This relief comes at a significant cost to the Exchequer, and there are no plans to extend the scope of the reduced rate. This policy will cost over £7 billion, and while some businesses in some sectors are disappointed, a boundary for eligibility had to be drawn.

That this House congratulates The Perfect Scoop in East Wemyss on scooping up 15 awards in the Scottish Ice-cream Championships at the Royal Highland Show 2019; notes that they won Reserve Champion as well as a gold award for their Belgian White Chocolate ice-cream; four silver awards for their Belgian Milk Chocolate, 4 Nuts, Lemon Turkish Delight and Pad Thai flavours; and nine bronze awards for their After Dark/Ginger, Black Toffee, Empire Biscuit, Toasted Brioche, Custard Fudge Doughnut, Drumstick Squashies, Sherry Trifle, Lotus Biscoff and Hazelnut Toffee Orange flavour ice-creams; commends the efforts of George Wallace and all of the staff in creating both classic and highly unusual original ice-cream flavours that are continuing to put East Wemyss on the culinary map of Scotland; commends their extraordinary success after just two years in business; and wishes them all the best for the continued success of the business.

Just as an aside, Mr Speaker, the Bercow report on speech, language and communication was very well referenced in Westminster Hall this morning.
My question is about ice cream. In this hot weather, there has been a great run on Granny Gothards ice cream in Taunton Deane, for which all the milk is provided by local farmers. The ice cream is not just popular locally, however, because Granny Gothards has just secured contracts to sell its 135 varieties of ice
cream to China, and it is expanding to the middle east, including Saudi Arabia. Will the Prime Minister join me in congratulating Granny Gothards on its sweet export success and on winning two awards at the Taunton Deane business awards? Does not that demonstrate the opportunities in global markets?

I am happy to join my hon. Friend in congratulating Granny Gothards on not only its two business awards but, crucially, the export contracts it is working on. It is absolutely right that my hon. Friend highlights the opportunities that businesses will have as we leave the European Union. It will be an opportunity to boost productivity, deliver better infra- structure and maximise the potential of our country and businesses such as Granny Gothards, which is obviously such a success in her constituency.

Will my hon. Friend give the House some idea of how many prosecutions of ice cream van traders there have been in the past year?
Will my hon. Friend give the House some idea of how many prosecutions of ice cream van traders there have been in the past year?
I shall endeavour to do so when we get into Committee, where we will have the full details.
The reason why prosecution is such an ineffective means of dealing with these things is that the fines are so derisory. The fine is currently set at level 2—only £500—and we are trying...

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his full explanation of the issue, but does he share my concern that a European Union directive has been incorporated into United Kingdom law and that the implications for cases such as this are not at all clear?

I very much share my hon. Friend’s concern about the lack of clarity and about the fact that, given that this has been in play for three years, the implications were not addressed in advance. Too much legislation from Europe seems to get through on the nod and the problems...
