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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department plans to issue guidance to private parking companies on the appropriateness of levels of parking fines.

The department is currently reviewing the levels of private parking charges and additional fees set out in the temporarily withdrawn Private Parking Code of Practice. As part of this review, we are carrying out an impact assessment and will consult before retaking new decisions on these elements of the Code.

The assessment will consider all relevant impacts that arise from the new Code and will cover England, Scotland and Wales where the Code is going to apply

Further details will be set out in due course.
