Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) discussions and (b) correspondence her Department had with (i) combined authorities and (ii) other local authorities on the potential introduction of workplace parking taxes since July 2024.

My officials have had communications regarding potential workplace parking levies with Birmingham City Council; Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council; Bristol City Council; Leeds City Council; and Oxfordshire County Council.

The introduction of a workplace parking levy is a matter for the local traffic authority. None of these authorities have sought confirmation of a workplace parking levy scheme from the Secretary of State, as required under the Transport Act 2000.
