HC Deb 31 January 1955 vol 536 c76W
94. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the "No waiting" Regulations in Dover Street and Albemarle Street are disregarded almost continuously during the hours they are in operation: and if he will substitute unilateral waiting regulations so that one side of these streets is kept clear of parked vehicles.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I agree that conditions in Albemarle Street and Dover Street are by no means yet satisfactory. In November last I revoked the "No waiting" Regulations in part of Albemarle Street to enable the Commissioner of Police to experiment with unilateral waiting north of Stafford Street. This experiment is now in progress, and results will be carefully studied. I am not at the moment satisfied that similar measures would work in Dover Street, but I will re-examine the position in consultation with the police.
