§ Sir Anthony Royleasked the Secretary of State for Transport how much a scheme involving the use of wheel clamps on parked vehicles will cost to administer; how much it will cost to puchase wheel clamps sufficient to employ in the scheme; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David HowellCosts would depend on the area covered by the scheme and the number of clamps used. If clamps were introduced, the charges set for release would be sufficient to cover the costs of operating the scheme. I shall consider the case for legislation in the light of representations received.
