The running of the scheme has now been passed from the government to the British Parking Association, (BPA) which represents the parking sector."Today's announcement marks the result of six years of dedicated work by our parking sector to make paying for parking easier," said its boss, Andrew Pester.

"We've strongly supported the National Parking Platform from the start, so we're thrilled with this outcome."Despite the BPA taking on the costs of running the platform from the government, it said this would not lead to higher prices for drivers."If anything we think this will drive increased competition between providers. We do not anticipate any increase in parking fees," a spokesman told BBC News.

President Donald Trump and House Republicans continued to negotiate a far-reaching tax and spending bill on Wednesday, holding discussions at the White House ahead of a potential vote.

Trump and his staff spent several hours with members of the House Freedom Caucus, who have refused to support a bill they say does not go far enough in cutting spending.Trump campaigned on promises to reduce the US budget deficit - meaning the annual gap between the government's tax revenue and its spending - which currently stands at around $36.2tn (£27tn).

Negotiators worked through the night on Tuesday, including a meeting of a House committee which began at 01:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Wednesday.Because Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House and Democrats uniformly oppose the legislation, Trump can only risk losing a handful of votes from his own party. He and congressional allies are also under the pressure of a self-imposed deadline to get the bill passed by the end of the month, which is now 10 days away.

After it wins approval in the House, the bill will head to the Republican-led Senate, which could make its own changes.After leaving the White House negotiations on Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson said the full House could vote on the bill Wednesday night or Thursday morning, according to Politico.
