The Minister for Transport has a discretionary power under section 36(8) of the Road Traffic Act 1994 to issue guidelines to road authorities in relation to the content of bye-laws providing for the operation of pay parking schemes. This power to issue statutory guidelines has not been exercised to date.

A circular letter issued to road authorities in May 1997 enclosing Guidance Notes on section 36 and a copy of this circular letter will be forwarded to the Deputy.
