Written Answers
Parking: Pedestrian Areas
Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)
Thursday 4th December 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 22 September (HL10279), when the data collection stage of the pavement parking research will (1) begin, and (2) conclude.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

The data collection stage of the pavement parking research is currently being specified as part of the preparatory work that is already underway and is being designed alongside policy development. We are considering when to launch the fieldwork aspect of the research, in tandem with responding to the consultation on pavement parking.

HM Courts and Tribunals Service: Electric Bicycles
Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)
Tuesday 16th December 2025

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede on 18 November 2024 (HL2243), whether they have carried out a risk assessment relating to e-bikes on His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service premises; and if so, what were the dates of the surveys for that risk assessment, and whether they will place a copy of those surveys in the Library of the House.

Answered by Baroness Levitt - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

Risk-assessment surveys have been conducted at sites where there has been a request to store an e-bike. To date, ten sites have been surveyed, with Brighton Family Court deemed suitable to store e-bikes.

The list of sites surveyed are as follows:

  • Manchester Crown Square – December 2024
  • Newport Magistrates Court - February 2025
  • Bristol Civil Justice Centre – March 2025 (1st Assessment), May 2025 (2nd Assessment)
  • Ipswich Magistrates - March 2025
  • Cardiff Crown - March 2025
  • St Albans Crown / St Albans Magistrates - March 2025
  • Cardiff Magistrates – April 2025
  • Brighton Family Court – June 2025
  • Highbury Magistrates – July 2025
  • Basildon Magistrates - November 2025

The surveys contain sensitive site-related security information which we do not routinely publish and, as a result, copies will not be placed in the Library of the House.

British Overseas Territories: Companies
Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 22nd December 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when all British Overseas Territories will be required to publish public registers of beneficial ownership.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

I refer the Noble Lord to my written ministerial statements on 3 July (UIN HLWS774) and 22 July (UIN HLWS884) which provided an update on progress achieved to date and details of next steps. These issues were most recently discussed at the Joint Ministerial Council, where the Minister for the Overseas Territories and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury again reinforced the need for previously agreed deadlines and commitments to be met, and called for prompt action to do so.
