HC Deb 28 October 1953 vol 518 c381W
99. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware of the growing practice of drivers of commercial vehicles parking far out in the carriageway in Central London streets when unable to find room exactly opposite the building where they are delivering or collecting goods; and if he will discourage this additional obstruction to traffic.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

Yes. The Commissioner of Police assures me that the police are doing what they can to prevent this type of obstruction.
