§ Sir R. Glynasked the Home Secretary whether he will give instructions to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to allocate streets and squares for the parking of motor-cars so that motor-cars do not block the thoroughfare on routes where traffic is normally heavy; and whether he will pay particular attention to such narrow roads as Jermyn Street, Duke Street, S.W.1, Curzon Street and others of a similar nature?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonWith very few exceptions the facilities for the parking of cars in streets and squares which existed before the war are still available. The demand has, however, decreased considerably, and the accommodation is by no means fully utilised. In present conditions unattended cars on the main traffic routes do not cause much congestion. In the case of certain streets, including the first two of those mentioned by my hon. Friend, congestion of traffic is bound to occur at certain times of day, owing to their restricted width and the access which they give to large shops. Streets of this type receive constant attention by the police with a view to the prevention of obstruction.
