HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c269W
102. Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is in a position to make a statement in regard to the parking of unattended motor cars in the streets within a prescribed distance of Piccadilly Circus and between certain hours that are to be subject to regulation by the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in the immediate future.

Mr. Ede

The conditions under which vehicles may be parked in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly Circus are prescribed by regulations made by the Minister of Transport. It is the duty of the police to see that these regulations are observed and to prevent obstruction, but there is no question of any regulations being made by the Commissioner of Police.
