§ 69. Sir Joseph Leechasked the Minister of Transport whether, in order to reduce the dangerous congestion in Central London caused by the storage of motor vehicles on the public highways, he will take steps to ensure that neighbouring 420 firms should arrange among themselves to provide joint parking-yards for vehicles of customers visiting their respective establishments?
§ Mr. BurginParliament has not conferred upon me any power to require shopkeepers either individually or jointly to provide parking accommodation off the highway, although I am glad to say that in a number of instances firms make provision for garaging the cars of their customers.
