HC Deb 15 May 1963 vol 677 cc152-3W
58. Mr. Boardman

asked the Minister of Transport by what means his Department exercises control over the siting of private car parks.

Mr. Marples

There is no control by my Department because this is essentially a local matter, subject to local planning controls. My Department may be consulted if a trunk road is affected or if there is an appeal against refusal of planning permission.
