Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) the Mayor of London, (2) the London Assembly, and (3) the various London Boroughs, about suspending (a) charged parking bays, (b) the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), and (c) the Congestion Charge, on the days of train strikes to enable people to attend work and appointments more easily.
While the Department for Transport works closely with Transport for London (TfL) on a range of issues, transport in London is devolved and is the responsibility of the Mayor of London (MoL) and TfL. This includes decisions on the Ultra Low Emission Zone and the Congestion Charge. Parking policy is also a devolved matter for both TfL and the London boroughs. The public can hold the MoL to account for his decisions, including ULEZ, at the ballot box in 2024.
