HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 c948
10. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that inconvenience is caused to residents of towns on the periphery of London by commuters from more distant parts who ignore local authority car parks and park their cars in residential streets before taking trains to London; and if he will seek to provide against this practice.

Mr. Bob Brown

The regulation of traffic and parking in London is primarily a matter for the Greater London Council. The Council is aware of this problem and is taking action as enforcement staff become available.

Mr. Driberg

While thanking my hon. Friend for his two very helpful letters on this subject, may I ask whether he will consider circulating in HANSARD details of the London boroughs which already have schemes for residents' parking permits in their own streets?

Mr. Brown

I will consider that point. I shall decide later whether I shall write to my hon. Friend or circulate the information in HANSARD.
