Clause 63 - Builders' skips: charge determined by reference
Traffic Management Bill
5:45 pm
Mr Greg Knight (East Yorkshire, Conservative)
May I make a slightly different point? There is a growing concern that when local authorities issue parking permits, they issue more permits than there are places, and that instead of receiving twice the income for the number of parking places, they may receive thrice the income. They could charge rental for a builder's skip parked in a resident's parking bay, and they will already have sold that bay twice or three times. There is concern at what the Government are doing, and I hope that the Minister will bear that in mind when the regulations are made and the fees are
set, as well as the fact that some unscrupulous builders might think it cheaper to leave the skip on the back of a lorry and park the lorry.
Question put, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill:—
The Committee divided Ayes 7, Noes 3.
