HC Deb 07 February 1961 vol 634 cc46-7W
Mr. Cleaver

asked the Minister of Transport whether provision will be included in the new Road Traffic Bill to prevent access to fire hydrants being impeded by parked cars.

Mr. Marples:

Discussions with interested bodies have so far indicated that cars parked near fire hydrants do not in practice cause serious difficulties for firemen. I have therefore no present proposals for legislation on the matter.
