HC Deb 25 July 1957 vol 574 cc79-80W
86. Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that motor vehicles are being parked almost throughout the day on both sides of Down Street, W.1, despite the fact that there is a notice in the street prohibiting waiting or unloading on one side from 11.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. on Monday to Friday; and if he will consult the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis with a view to preventing this practice.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that cars park for short periods on the prohibited side of Down Street from time to time. The police do what they can within the limits of their resources to keep the street clear for the passage of traffic and take appropriate action against offenders.
