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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what the conclusions were of the equalities impact assessment for his Department's proposals for the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019.

My Department has been implementing the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 which requires the Secretary of State to prepare a Code of Practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities. The Code is currently being finalised and, as part of that, we are considering any equalities impacts it may have. The Code will be published along with Private Parking Charges, Discount Rates, Debt Collection Fees and Appeals Charter: Further Technical Consultation Response in due course.
