Parking: Regulation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of establishing an independent parking regulator.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

A parking regulator was considered as an option; however, it was dismissed as disproportionate.

Establishing a regulator would have involved significant cost, complexity and even further delay, duplicating functions that can be delivered more efficiently through the introduction of a new government Code of Practice.
