Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with the British Parking Association on the recommended size of car parking spaces.

The Secretary of State has not had any discussions with the British Parking Association on this matter.

The British Parking Association and International Parking Community have launched a new single industry code of practice which aims to improve transparency and consistency. It provides guidance on matters such as the design of designated bays, including those for blue badge holders.
