It's the principle as well though Hugh .From the companies point of view they are already paying for the space in business rates and rent because in many cases the council own the land the building is on and charge ground rent to the companies based on the size of the land ,so in effect the are paying twice for the same thing .From a workers point of view having parking at your place of work is a big bonus and quite often helps attract workers to the company because as you say city center parking is at a premium .
