	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities do not currently have powers to regulate private parking. The private parking industry is self-regulating, though the Government has some concerns about the current system and is taking action to improve the situation for motorists. The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 will introduce a new independent code of practice and a single appeals service. We are currently considering options for implementing the Act and will make an announcement in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 09/09/2019 12:51:08 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
