HC Deb 17 March 1960 vol 619 c112W
27. Mr. F. M. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department by what authority the Metropolitan Police require that only the owner of a vehicle impounded for causing an obstruction, as opposed to his duly authorised agent, is permitted to collect it.

Mr. Renton

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that he imposes no such requirement.
