answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>Almost all local authorities in England have now taken on civil enforcement powers for parking and bus lane contraventions, and the Department for Transport is engaged in discussions with several local authorities which have not yet adopted these powers but are interested in doing so. It is for each local authority to determine how it wishes to apply these powers, subject to the restrictions of legislation and statutory guidance. The Department has no current plans to enable local authorities outside London to take on civil enforcement powers for moving traffic offences, which are a matter for the police.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/11/2018 13:22:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
