To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4343, on Parking Offences: Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, if she will publish the (a) public sector equality duty and (b) environmental principles assessments undertaken for that decision to authorise higher parking charges.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4343, on Parking Offences: Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, if she will publish the (a) public sector equality duty and (b) environmental principles assessments undertaken for that decision to authorise higher parking charges.
The equality and environmental impacts of the proposal were considered through the policy process. This included identifying no adverse impacts on protected characteristics arising from increased compliance with traffic laws through enforcement by LAs, the potential for illegal parking displacement outside the trial area to affect protected groups and that any negative impacts on equality were not disproportionate. Consequent air quality benefits were also considered, as reducing parking overstays can improve the availability and turnover of parking spaces, thereby reducing the need for vehicles to circulate while searching for parking.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether additional charges and fines placed on parents paying child maintenance have been (a) revised and (b) temporarily halted due to financial hardship as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether additional charges and fines placed on parents paying child maintenance have been (a) revised and (b) temporarily halted due to financial hardship as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
Collection charges apply when a case is being managed in the Collect and Pay service. The Direct Pay service does not incur any on-going collection charges. Charges have not been paused as a result of the covid-19 outbreak. We expect paying parents to do the right thing and continue to pay child maintenance due. Where paying parents experience a change in income, the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) can review their case and check if the amount paid should change. To help reduce the short-term financial pressure that may be experienced by many paying parents whose income has been affected by the Covid 19 outbreak, the time period over which that change in income is assessed has been reduced from 12 to 2 weeks.
