HC Deb 07 December 1936 vol 318 c1639
58. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the parking regulations for cars in St. James's Square and other parts of the West End forbid owners to leave their cars in the parking places for more than two hours continuously; and whether, as it is impossible for owners to comply with this provision when leaving their cars to attend theatres in the evenings, he will arrange to relax these restrictions so far as the evening hours are concerned?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)

I am sure that owners of motor vehicles will realise that it is to the public advantage that they should garage their cars off the public highway, particularly if they wish to leave them for a lengthy period.
