HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 c333W
62. Mr. Rossi

asked the Minister of Transport if she will seek powers to enable her to make it a condition of the issue of A, B or C carriers' licences for commercial vehicles that the applicant should have sufficient parking space on his own premises for his vehicles and should use such parking space for the vehicles when not in use.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend will bear this in mind in her review of the carriers' licensing system, but it would touch only part of the problem. Local authorities already have powers under the Road Traffic Acts to control or prohibit parking on the street by commercial vehicles.
