HC Deb 05 April 1978 vol 947 c121W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review regulations giving traffic wardens powers to fine on the spot, and examine their effectiveness and how they are operating for the more straightforward parking, vehicle and traffic offences.

Dr. Summerskill

The effectiveness of the fixed penalty system, which traffic wardens use to enforce parking and other road traffic offences, is kept under review. Traffic wardens have no powers to fine on the spot.
