§ 109. Mr. A. Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why cars belonging to members of the National Economic Development Council were allowed by the Metropolitan Police to park outside No. 1 Bridge Street, during a council meeting held on Monday 18th February, 1963, when traffic conditions were not quiet, whilst at the same time Members of Parliament, their secretaries and others engaged on parliamentary work were compelled to move their cars from this site.
§ Mr. BrookeI am informed by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that no special permission was 67W given for cars to park outside the building in which the National Economic Development Council was meeting on 18th February. Some cars called towards the end of the meeting and waited to pick up passengers, but left before police action became necessary.
