Vince Cable wrote to me: “The Protection of Freedom Act will make it illegal to clamp vehicles on Private Land. It should end the activities of "cowboys" who have exploited people who have parked on Private Land. There have been bad instances of this in our constituency (Twickenham). There remains the problem of outsiders who park, for instance, in private car parks, as in blocks of flats and Clause 56 seeks to address this. I recognise there are concerns about and the inability of Trade Associations to police their members. I will seek further advice from Lynne Featherstone the relevant Home Office Minister and will let you know what further she advises.”
