Lord Leigh of Hurley (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 June 2025

Debate

Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019

Contribution

My Lords, I gather that a consultation will take place next week between the industry and the Minister. One hopes that a code will be set up, but the Government can determine fines. Does she agree with the leader of Bournemouth Council, Millie Earl, who, following an incident where fire engines could not get through on a road by the seafront, said: “We are really constrained in what we can do to deal with it”? The fines are now £35, which, as the former MP for Bournemouth East, Tobias Ellwood, said, is a very good bargain for parking for a day out.
