<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>
