Lord Wigley – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Wigley on 2014-03-31.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with disability organisations with respect to the minimum size of parking restriction notices (1) on public highways, (2) in parking areas owned or managed by public authorities, and (3) in privately owned or managed parking areas that fall within the provisions of Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

Baroness Kramer

The Department for Transport has not discussed these issues directly with disability organisations. Regulations relating to road traffic are subject to full public consultation in accordance with Government consultation principles. Privately owned car parking facilities are covered by industry codes of practice.
