The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress he has made on the Code of Practice consultation.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

I wish to assure the hon. Member that this government is determined to drive up standards in the private parking sector.

The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 places a duty on the Government to prepare a code of practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities.

A consultation document outlining proposals to raise standard across the private parking industry was published on 11 July 2025.

All responses are now being analysed and the government will publish a response in due course.
