HC Deb 18 May 1961 vol 640 c163W
68. Sir Richard Pilkington

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why on 10th May on the south side of Motcombe Street, S.W.1, a number of cars were impounded although there was no notice to say that parking was prohibited.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that traffic was brought to a standstill because vehicles parked on both sides of this street left insufficient space for through traffic. Five cars were removed by the police because they were causing obstruction.
