To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her planned timetable is for a decision on the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology by local authorities as a parking enforcement tool to tackle non-compliance with parking charges.
Answered on
7 October 2024
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology cannot be used by Councils to enforce parking contraventions once a vehicle has left the car park. A notice of a parking charge from a Council must be given by a civil enforcement officer affixing it too the vehicle. The Government has no plans to review this position.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
