Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (Representations and Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2008

I thank noble Lords for joining me in the discussion on these regulations. I think that it was the noble Lord, Lord Livsey, who said that parking should be simple. I am not sure about that. In local politics, parking schemes probably engender some of the most hotly contested campaigns—certainly in my experience. I shall aim to deal with some of the questions as helpfully as I can. The noble Lord, Lord Glentoran, raised his now perhaps well documented concerns about the process of legislation-making following the Government of Wales Act. I shall not bore everyone with my now well documented support of the process. I happen to believe that devolution is a great thing, and we are doing our very best in government to make it a success. I shall leave it at that, but I understand the noble Lord’s view and I am very happy to discuss it further whenever the opportunity arises.
