Welcome to the National Parking Pass
Parliamentary Record
"It is very important that motorists have confidence in the appeals process and trust they will get the right outcome as quickly as possible, and that decisions are reached independently of the private parking industry itself."
House of Lords | March 2026
Government Confirmed
76 million private parking charges have been issued since the Code of Practice Act received Royal Assent. The Minister for Local Growth confirmed in Parliament that poor operator behaviour is systemic.

The Accountability Gap
The ICO confirmed in a formal Decision Notice that DVLA holds no records evaluating ATA performance and does not audit code compliance. The oversight described in industry agreements does not happen.
ICO Decision Notice IC-255825-Q6G3
Your Data. Their Profit.
DVLA keeper data requests rose from 1.9 million in 2012 to 12.8 million in 2024. A 673% increase. Private operators can access your home address in minutes. NPP exists to hold that power to account.

Industry in Plain Sight
Operators issuing tickets with the words "penalty" or "fine" have no legal authority to do so. Private parking charges are contractual. They are not penalties. Thousands of motorists pay charges that are unlawful on their face.

Independent Oversight
NPP told UKAS in 2024 that the parking sector needed an independent oversight body. The Government said the same in its 2025 consultation. An independent governance board is being constituted for NPP. Legal, public sector and consumer protection representation. Unconnected to any trade body.
UKAS engagement | 2024 onwards
The Industry's Own Description
"Approved Operator Scheme Code of Practice - Unregulated Parking Enforcement"
That is the trade body's own title for its code. Unregulated. Their word. Our independence is not a claim. It is the only alternative Parliament has mandated.
Statutory Code | December 2026
The Code of Practice (v1.1) updated 13 April 2026. Full compliance deadline December 2026. Every pre-October 2024 operator contract requires rewriting. NPP is already built to the statutory framework. The industry is not.
