HC Deb 19 December 1966 vol 738 cc231-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will state the cause of the accident at the junction of Andover Road, North, and Durham Road, W.7, on Monday 12th December 1966 at approximately 8.15 a.m.; whether he is aware of the continued hazard to motorists using Durham Road by double and sometimes treble parking; and, as many of these vehicles are derelict and unlicensed, whether he will arrange to have them removed from the highway and have charges made by the police for causing obstruction.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The Commissioner of Police tells me that inquiries concering this accident are not yet complete. Since 1st July, 1966, action has been taken by the police in respect of 16 derelict and 12 apparently unlicensed vehicles in Durham Road.
