§ 62. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Minister of Transport if he will consider extending the time at present allowed on parking places in the West End of London?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI see no reason for extending the time at present allowed on parking places in any part of London, and would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to a question by the hon. Member for the Eye Division (Mr. Granville) on 27th November, of which I am sending him a copy.
§ Mr. HALL-CAINEIs the hon. Gentleman aware that there is garage accommodation for only about a quarter of the vehicles that use the West End of London and that want to park, and that even when they do go into garages, the price is exorbitant for the poorer man?
§ Mr. MORRISONI am not satisfied, on the information before us, that that is the case. In any case, we have to have some cognisance of the danger of our spending large sums of public money on street widenings and then having them, in turn, turned into free garage accommodation.
§ Mr. DAYWill my hon. Friend consider having erected at different parking centres signs similar to those in use on the Continent so that motorists will know where they can definitely park?
