§ 6. Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that long-term parking by private cars and lorries in the Greater London area is increasing year by year to the detriment of the roads and streets concerned; and what proposals he has for limiting this additional hazard to road safety.
§ Mr. MarplesI am aware that with more vehicles on the roads the demand for long-term parking is increasing in Greater London. I am limiting the hazard this might cause by restricting waiting on busy traffic routes and, in many places, by comprehensive parking control. The increasing provision of off-street garages by local authorities and by private enterprise is also helping.
