I've done a search, and can't see this elsewhere.
I Originally saw this from a Sheffield MP, Abtisam Mohamed on
Twitter

I welcome the consultation on a new Private Parking Code of
Practice and encourage as many people to respond outlining their
concerns at
My own view is that the proposed changes do little to protect
people from low-income backgrounds. The cap should be much lower
than £100 and offering a 40% discount pressures motorists into
paying, rather than exploring their options to appeal. Finally,
the burden of debt recovery fees should not be placed on
motorists, whatever the cost, and should be scrapped altogether.
We must seek to align closely with local authority run car
parks, which are often cheaper, and I’ll be addressing the
proposed changes with my colleagues.
I urge my constituents to engage with the consultation.

Typical show boating populist MP bull. If you can afford to run
a car you can afford a PCN, the value has to act as a deterrent.
It's often cheaper to pay the PCN in a council car park (not
that you are likely to get caught anyway) than the tariff. It
costs councils to enforce, those people breaking the rules
should bear the cost of enforcement, not the people who obey
the rules.
97% of motorists follow the rules and never get a PCN, its not
difficult. The government should stop focusing on the populist
topic around PCN values and properly tighten up the rules and
regulation so bandits like Excel parking and the majority of
smaller operators who just don't have the resources or scale to
be properly compliant are forced out of business.
