What happened

The Code was laid before Parliament on October 20 and is currently undergoing a 40-day period of parliamentary scrutiny.

Why it matters
The new rules mandate minimum time periods for drivers entering and exiting private car parks, providing greater protection against penalties. This regulatory action establishes new consumer protection standards in England and changes the operational framework for private parking enforcement.
