Looking forward to how Friday pans out I know this new Bill is taking its time but any progress is progress imo.

In July 2018, the total number of driving licences registered with DVLA was 48,594,446.

That's a lot of voters so government better not screw this one up

Maybe you should become a football fan like me, it's fun and exercises your lungs and you get some fresh air & meet likeminded people and have a laugh. Your local team (not in Spain) are quite good and currently score a couple of goals most matches!

You remember the original Raffles ?

Entertainment was by cockroaches, the staff called them CPM's

The Parliamentary timetable for today remains unaffected by other events, so the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill will be the second item in the order of business.

There has been an amendment to the original text, which now stipulates that all appeals must be adjudicated by a genuinely independent body, approved by the Secretary of State. So I guess it will be goodbye to POPLA and IAS:

Sir Greg Knight
NC1
To move the following Clause—

“Appeals against parking charges

(1) This section applies if the parking code contains guidance recommending that all parking appeals are dealt with by a single person who is independent of persons providing private parking facilities.

(2) The Secretary of State may, for the purpose of enabling or facilitating persons to act in accordance with that guidance, enter into an agreement with any person who appears to the Secretary of State to be so independent for that person to deal with parking appeals.

(3) An agreement under this section may provide— (a) for payments to be made by the Secretary of State in respect of dealing with parking appeals; (b) for the person to have power to charge fees, payable by persons providing private parking facilities, for dealing with parking appeals; (c) for the maximum amount of any fee chargeable by virtue of paragraph (b).

(4) A person authorised by an agreement under this section to deal with parking appeals may not authorise any other person to perform that function.

(5) In this section “parking appeals” means appeals against parking charges imposed by, or on behalf of, persons providing private parking facilities.”

Member’s explanatory statement The new clause provides that, if the parking code recommends that all appeals against parking charges are dealt with by a single independent person, the Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with such a person for that person to deal with appeals against parking charges.
