HC Deb 14 October 1968 vol 770 cc31-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions the police have been requested to enforce the law regarding parking in the vicinity of Leather Lane, E.C.1; why complaints by the general public of illegal parking by owners of vehicles 642 TMV, MYK 881D, GCN 667, JCN 631 and 573 NPF made a long time ago have not been dealt with; and why the police and wardens permit trade vehicles to break the law, whilst enforcing it against private motorists.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

The Commissioner of Police informs me that the number of oral complaints to constables and traffic wardens has not been recorded; that four written complaints have been recorded during the past two years; that appropriate action has been taken in regard to the vehicles named; and that the police do not discriminate in favour of trade vehicles.
