Good point. I cannot think of any.

agreed, I went through the 2 AOS lists and could not spot ONE, not ONE

I have now watched this in its entirety - watched most of it with a beer over the w/e, more entertaining than regular telly.

Surprised that PPM haven't come up in the 'name and shame' lists but maybe they're too small.

It was most heartening to see MPs from all sides of the house speaking up for their constituents without any underlying political agenda. A rarity.

The only thing I felt disappointing was the creedence given to the BPA by many of the MPs and the focus on a CoP without hammering home the fact that if you don't enforce the CoP like the !!!!!!! son of Judge Dredd and Robocop then, frankly, it's going to be about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I can only suggest NCP from my own experiences of dealing with them, and that their business model is almost exclusively barrier controlled, pay on exit, means it is very hard to get a ticket. Even their railway car parks that I deal with are generally well managed and problem free.

I also thought that Intu retail were members of the BPA, but it seems not.

I don't think I'll bother trying to contact my local MP, Jared O'Mara, to ensure he is supporting the bill - nobody has seen him in months, or at least outside of the local student bars.

This could have something to do with that:-

Sheffield Hallam MP Jared O'Mara has returned to work - one day after The Yorkshire Post revealed he had not been turning up at his constituency office. (17/01/2018)

He won't resign because if he hangs in there and simply gets de-selected he still qualifies for his £35k 'relocation' allowance and his £50k 'closing the office' allowance.




Oh and his golden pension.....final salary based obviously as that's the most generous!!!
