As I said in response to a previous question, we have heard nothing from the Scottish National party or the Scottish Government about how they intend to use the new powers that will be available after we leave the EU. Let us have a debate about using powers for Scotland’s benefit, not about process.
Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)
The Secretary of State for Scotland (David Mundell)
I have not had discussions with the Scottish Government regarding hospital car parking charges. The policy falls wholly within their area of devolved competence.
Robert Halfon
The vast majority of national health service hospitals in Scotland do not charge for car parking. Will my right hon. Friend initiate discussions with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to explore the options for extending that to England?
David Mundell
I am sure that my colleague the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care will have heard my right hon. Friend’s comments.
