Parking (Code of Practice) Bill - Passed by MPs

Ralph-y

Have any of the forum members .... or forum members friends had sight of the draft proposals ?


The biggest disappointment that I picked up on was the honourable member for Cambridge(?) apparent liking of the BPA :mad:


may be the forums advice to write to their MP's has had some small effect!

System

Seems they have declared open season on PPCs and fellow travellers.

Most interesting comment was about BW Legal. They have a very large bank loan and if they were to lose a few clients, it wouldn't take too much pushing to get them to tumble over.

A significant hurdle for this Bill was actually cleared on Tuesday this week, here is the Hansard link to the very brief debate: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2018-07-17/debates/9D9628B8-BD0E-4310-A504-E05E29672841/Parking(CodeOfPractice)Bill(WaysAndMeans)

This is all about the levy, and it ensures that all of the costs of producing, administering and enforcing the new COP will be funded by a levy on the Trade Associations, and will not require any expenditure from public funds (which could have delayed or killed the Bill).

Redx

watched it on the link in post #78 on page 4 where catchup streaming is allowed and it is clear that everyone involved in that room understands the many issues involved, that they are sick and tired of all the complaints and that some of them have experienced issues themselves

it was good to see the tie ups by them asking questions about the MoJ and the DVLA etc, plus the SRA issues and again naming and shaming GLADRAGS , B W LEGAL , PE , SMART , NGPM etc

they seem to be aware of the serious backlog at the CCBC too

the sooner they finish the bill and it necaomes law the better, plus they are saying it will be reviewed regularly to close any loopholes exposed by those who wish to subvert it as has happened since clamping was banned

once bit , twice shy

"fines fines and more fines" , the guy at the back in pink admitted not updating his V5 (letters to old address) first he knew , sir Greg was going on about grace periods


I don't think they quite understand it yes and are just nodding with each other

Can I ask, did I miss something about BWLegal having
a very large bank loan ?

I spotted a "Trump misspoken" moment in that transcript, It's where somebody called the BPA a "reputable organisation". Surely he meant to say "disreputable"?
