Parking (Code of Practice) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alex Chalk (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Parking (Code of Practice) Bill.

Is this amendment not a licence to take power away from this House and put it into the courts? This House should be responsible for its own legislation. If there had been a failure of a dilatory nature from the Government, then my hon. Friend could no doubt call them to account in this House. However, ceding power to the courts to make a decision on whether best endeavours have been used seems to me to be a complete abdication of responsibility.
