§ 47. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the increasing need for parking places where drivers park their cars in order then to travel by the Central Line to the City and beyond, what action he is taking to make land opposite the Leyton Central Line station available for car parking.
§ Mr. GalbraithMy right hon. Friend has no power to make land available, or to provide car parks, the provision of parking facilities at or near railway stations is the concern of the responsible transport board and of the local authority. But he is prepared to do what he properly can to help resolve difficulties over car parking provision, and this case is being looked into to see if anything can be done here.
