HC Deb 08 May 1958 vol 587 c113W
60. Mr. Mawby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what general circumstances the Metropolitan Police are authorised to remove cars in the highway adjacent to private residences.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The circumstances in which the police are empowered to remove vehicles from the roads or to move vehicles on the roads are laid down in The Removal of Vehicles (England and Wales) Regulations, 1957. I have given no instructions to the Metropolitan Police on this matter.
