	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government supports Sir Greg Knight's Private Members’ Bill, the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill, which seeks to create an independent code of practice for private parking companies and a single body for parking appeals. If a parking company was to repeatedly break this code, then their access to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data would be blocked. This data includes information on the vehicle keeper, so a company blocked from accessing it would be unable to pursue parking charges. I spoke at the Bill’s Third Reading in the Commons to voice the Government’s support and it has now passed to the House of Lords.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 21/01/2019 17:13:47 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
