answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>As recommended by the Transport Select Committee (<em>Local authority parking enforcement</em>, HC 118, October 2013), the Government intends to work in partnership with a local authority to assess introducing a 25% discount to motorists who lose an appeal at tribunal level. This trial will allow us to evaluate the impacts, before rolling out the policy nationally.</p><p> </p><p>The underlying policy rationale is the current lack of any discount at an appeal stage (but with a discount operating if the driver does not appeal) acts as a disincentive for drivers with genuine cases to appeal. I would remind the rt. hon. Member that parking fines are a quasi-judicial process, not a source of revenue for councils. This Government believes in fairness, in contrast to the Labour Government which actively told councils to adopt aggressive parking enforcement practices.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis grouped question UIN 202438 question first answered 01/07/2014 15:33:07 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>In December, our consultation on parking asked for comments on the scope for introducing new grace periods for parking, including what areas it should apply to. In the recently published Government response to the consultation, we announced we will introduce a mandatory 10 minute free period (a) at the end of paid-for on-street parking, (b) at the end of free on-street parking, and (c) extend the same grace period to local authority off-street parking.</p><p> </p><p>This measure will support local shops and stop shoppers being penalised for returning to their car a few minutes late. This Government recognises that if parking on local high streets and shopping parades is made too difficult, shoppers will merely drive to out of town superstores or just shop online. Our position is in stark contrast to the Labour Government which actively encouraged councils to hike parking charges, cut the number of car parking spaces and adopt aggressive parking enforcement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 01/07/2014 15:26:14 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
