Private parking tickets / Re: Private parking charge - forge retail park glasgow

For once I don't think this was anything to do with her.
As far as I can tell the POFA type sections were never part of the original bill or noted in the request for comments from the public.
They suddenly appeared as if by magic from a committee at a very late stage. Seems to be no note of who introduced the thought to the committee.
