§ 116 and 117. Sir F. Markhamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what traditional parking places in north Buckinghamshire, other than the Market Square at Stony Stratford, have recently been regraded as unauthorised street parking places during the past few months;
(2) by what authority the Market Square at Stony Stratford has now been graded as an unauthorised street parking place; the reasons for this; and whether any formal request was made by the Wolverton Urban District Council for such a step to be taken.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeThe regulation of the parking of vehicles in streets, outside London, is a matter for the local authority, subject to my confirmation of any byelaws which it may make for this purpose. I am not in a position to say what action local authorities may have taken with regard to what my hon. Friend calls "traditional parking places" in any particular area. As regards parking in the Market Square at Stony Stratford, I informed the Wolverton Urban District Council in September last, following a public local inquiry, that I did not propose to confirm byelaws which they had made for the regulation of parking in the Square.
