Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of protections for motorists issued with parking charge notices by private parking companies on private land.

Motorists must be protected when using private car parks. The government will introduce a strong Private Parking Code of Practice to create a fairer system for motorists and raise standards across the industry.

The government intends to lay this Code before Parliament in autumn 2026.
