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.

What a pleasure it is to follow the hon. Member for Warrington South (Faisal Rashid) and his excellent contribution.

When someone is faced with what looks like an official letter demanding considerable sums of money, they can become enormously distressed by that. The concern is that these individuals are making these demands on an entirely specious basis, and I want to give the House two examples—
