HC Deb 30 July 1951 vol 491 cc125-6W
76. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he proposes to maintain all "No Waiting" restrictions in streets of Central London from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the light of experience gained since the opening of the Festival of Britain.

Mr. Barnes

The Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis has informed me that in the light of recent experience there is no longer the need to maintain the "No Waiting" restrictions imposed by, the police in any of the "yellow band" streets covered by his regulations and he proposes to withdraw them. I hope to lay new Regulations under the London Traffic Act in the near future, restoring the waiting restrictions in force on these streets before the increased police restrictions were imposed.
