Parking: Private Sector
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a nationwide ten minute grace period for private car parks where users cannot not be fined for non-purchase of a ticket.

The consultation seeks views on the minimum grace periods set out in the previously withdrawn government code.
