§ Mr. LidingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if it is his policy to exempt parking places at(a) police premises and (b) prisons from workplace parking charges. [101837]
§ Mr. Hill[holding answer 7 December 1999]The Transport Bill currently before Parliament allows the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to require workplace parking levy schemes to include exemptions for particular types of premises. Local authorities will also be able to include their own exemptions. Our consultation paper "Breaking the Logjam" sought views on a range of possible exemptions. A detailed response to the consultation exercise will be published in due course.
