HC Deb 12 February 1964 vol 689 c65W
80. Mr. John Hall

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the fact that no experience has been gained in this country of the operation of the disc system of parking, he will arrange for experiments to be carried out in this system before adding further to the street furniture in London.

Mr. Marples

Parking meters are more effective than discs for central London and other heavily congested city centres. But as I have said before, discs may well be suitable in less busy areas and a disc scheme is to be tried in Cheltenham.
