Written Question
Parking Offences: Fines
Tuesday 3rd May 2016

Asked by: Kirsten Oswald (Scottish National Party - East Renfrewshire)

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with representatives of the private parking industry on the implications of the Supreme Court case, Beavis vs ParkingEye.

Answered by Marcus Jones - Treasurer of HM Household (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Commons)

The Government is aware of the public concern at the way some private parking companies operate.

Whilst we have not held any specific discussions with the DVLA or representatives of the private parking companies, we are currently reviewing responses to the discussion paper, “Parking Reform: Tackling Unfair Practices”.

We will issue a response in due course.
