§ 82. Mr. John Hallasked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the fact that the cost of administering the parking meter scheme has been running at over 70 per cent. and that the latest available figures up to 31st March, 1964, show that less than 10 per cent. of the revenue has been applied for the purpose of providing off-street parking, he will now consider introducing a more effective and less wasteful scheme which will ensure that a much higher proportion of the revenue obtained is devoted to the provision of off-street parking.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI would, of course, be interested in any system of parking control that local authorities may propose which would achieve more efficiently the objectives of parking meter schemes in areas of intensive demand.
§ 95. Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Transport if he will introduce legislation to permit penalties in respect of parking offences to be used to pay the costs of administering parking control schemes and to finance the provision of off-street parking accommodation.
§ Mr. Tom FraserNo.
