answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) may release vehicle keeper details to parking enforcement companies if they can demonstrate reasonable cause to receive it. To help ensure motorists are treated fairly when any parking charge is pursued, vehicle keeper information is disclosed only to companies that are members of an Accredited Trade Association (ATA). 　The ATA carries out stringent checks on companies before allowing them to join and monitors compliance of their code of practice that includes an independent appeals process.　 If a company fails to comply it can be suspended or expelled, during which time no data will be provided to it by the DVLA.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond that, parking on private land is essentially a private contractual arrangement between the car park owner and the motorist. Any ongoing disputes over unpaid parking charges would be pursued as civil matters through the relevant courts. The Government would not be involved.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government has amended the Consumer Protection Regulations to make it simpler and clearer for consumers to bring their own actions to seek compensation when they have been the victims of misleading or aggressive debt collection practices. The new rights come into force on the 1st October 2014 and apply to all types of debt collection including parking on private land.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 08/09/2014 15:17:57 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

All rolling stock is owned by the Rolling Stock Companies (ROSCOs), and leased by the Train Operating Companies (TOCs). If the ROSCO wish to modify their asset while on lease to a TOC then they are able to do so by agreement and will make that investment based on their own assessment of value for money.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/09/2014 15:19:30 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many passengers using Transport for London-operated transport have been taken ill as a result of excessive heat since January 2013.
tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	207700
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>According to Transport for London (TfL), there have been 59 instances since January 2013 on the London Underground where the records specify heat as the reason for, or a contributing factor towards, customer illness. The actual number may be different as, for various reasons, it is not always possible to provide an accurate picture of why passengers are taken ill. Transport for London do not have any records of passengers being taken ill since January 2013 as a result of excessive heat on trams, London Overground or the Docklands Light Railway. In respect of buses, Transport for London are unable to provide the information requested. This is because TfL only have a log of passengers taken ill if a bus driver has called them for assistance, and the cause of illness is not generally recorded.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 08/09/2014 12:18:16 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
