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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will publish the conclusions of the economic impact assessment of his Department's proposals to amend the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019.

My department is currently implementing the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019. This includes preparing a Code of Practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities. As part of the process to implement the Code, we recently published a consultation on private parking charges, discount rates, debt collection fees and an appeals charter, which closed on 27 August 2021.

We are considering all impacts of the new Code and will publish the Code together with the Government’s response to the recent consultation in due course.
