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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2019 to Question 266812 on Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, what opportunities for public consultation there will be as part of the development of the code of practice.

Consistent with the requirement of the Act that the Code of Practice be developed in consultation with stakeholders, we are currently considering the format for stakeholder engagement and will make an announcement in due course. We are also committed to carrying out a public consultation on the draft Code of Practice as part of the development process, allowing all interested parties to directly respond to the proposals.
