HC Deb 07 July 1998 vol 315 c458W
14. Mr. Letwin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what powers the Greater London authority will have to levy parking charges on workplace car parks. [47634]

Mr. Raynsford

Our White Paper "A Mayor and Assembly for London" (Cm 3897) said that, if new powers to enable road user charging or a parking levy were made available, the Mayor, working through the new body Transport for London, would be well placed to plan or implement the use of such powers. The Government's conclusions on whether to introduce the necessary enabling legislation will be set out in the forthcoming transport White Paper.
