57. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cars have been towed away for improper parking in the Metropolitan Police district during the past week; and in how many of these cases the owner is being prosecuted.

Mr. Simon:

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that in the seven days ended on Tuesday, 14th May, 62 vehicles were removed from the roads in the Metropolitan Police district under powers conferred on the police by The Removal of Vehicles (England and Wales) Regulations, 1957. The question of proceedings is being considered in all cases.
