The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to ensure greater (a) transparency and (b) accountability in private parking enforcement.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

This government is determined to drive up standards in the private parking sector.

In accordance with the Private Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, the government has recently consulted on its proposals for a new code of practice for private parking operators to follow. The consultation closed on 26 September and the government will respond in due course.

This code will better protect and support motorists whilst balancing the legitimate needs of private parking operators.
