HC Deb 17 November 1952 vol 507 cc112-3W
68. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport when the proposed experiment in unilateral waiting in certain streets in London is to be introduced; and how long it will continue before a decision is reached as to its merits.

Mr. Braithwaite

We hope to start this experiment early next year as soon as the necessary signs have been delivered and erected. My right hon. Friend will review the scheme after it has been in operation for six months.

Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the fact that there are so few disabled drivers of motor vehicles in the Metropolitan Police area, and of these a large proportion are legless and therefore severely handicapped, he will relax those regulations applicable to the yellow band car parking areas in favour of the disabled drivers.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have every sympathy with disabled drivers, but if these regulations are to work they must be of general application.
