Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many of the 2,300 cases in which cars were towed away by the Metropolitan Police for improper parking a prosecution followed, and in how many cases a conviction; and whether it is his intention to intensify or to relax this form of traffic discipline.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerUp to date figures are not available, but I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that of the 750 cases on which action was completed by 30th September, 232 had led to prosecutions. All but three of the drivers concerned were convicted. The police are taking and will continue to take appropriate action under the Regulations, within the limits of their resources.
