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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much public bodies and Government agencies have spent on planning and developing new car parking facilities in the UK in each of the last five years.

The information requested is not held centrally. However, local authorities report capital expenditure in their annual capital account returns, including that specifically relating to parking. This information is available in the individual local authority data tables at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-capital-expenditure-receipts-and-financing.

With respect to on-street parking, local authorities are responsible for providing adequate parking provision on their roads.
