Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many full-time equivalent staff are employed by his Department to work on the Managing pavement parking consultation that closed in November 2020.

The Department has employed the equivalent of around 2 full time policy officials on managing the pavement parking consultation, plus the additional support of a DfT economist in preparation of an impact assessment. External consultants were also employed to assist with the analysis of over 15,000 consultation responses.
