Parking (Code of Practice) Bill
That the Bill do now pass.
My Lords, I have it in command from Her Majesty the Queen
to acquaint the House that she, having been informed of the
purport of the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill, has
consented to place her interests, so far as they are
affected by the Bill, at the disposal of Parliament for the
purposes of the Bill.
My Lords, I thank my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral for
bringing the Bill to this stage with his customary aplomb
and expertise. It is not a flashy Bill but a necessary and
welcome one, providing for uniformity and consistency in
private parking practice. I also thank the honourable
Member for East Yorkshire, Sir , for introducing the Bill
and progressing it through the other place. I think the
whole House—indeed, the whole country—should be grateful
for this small but necessary measure.
My Lords, I join the Minister in thanking the noble Lord,
Lord Hunt, and the honourable Member for East Yorkshire,
Sir . I agree entirely with
the comments that he has made.
My Lords, I thank my noble friend the Minister and the
Opposition spokesperson for their kind words. I pay tribute
to Sir for his initiative in
bringing forward a Bill that will be widely welcomed.
The only additional congratulations that I would like to
give are to the Bill team, the clerks and all those who
have helped to give the Bill smooth passage through this
place, as well as through the House of Commons. I beg to
move.
