§ 37. Mr. SwayneWhat assessment has been made of the cost of enforcing proposals to limit the availability of workplace parking. [30659]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe Government are currently looking at the potential costs and benefits of a levy on non-residential parking places. Administration and enforcement arrangements are of course an important element in that.
§ Mr. SwayneI find that most regrettable. Does the hon. Lady agree that, given the Government's aspirations to reducing congestion, this is a daft idea that will increase congestion by 20 per cent. and load new costs on to small businesses, many of which will be rural?
§ Ms JacksonNo—and anything that causes the hon. Gentleman regret is music to my ears.
