§ Mr. J. Pageasked the Minister of Transport what consideration he has given to the desirability of introducing legislation to permit the agents of occupiers of blocks of flats, such as commissionaires and others, who have been individually delegated persons in this respect, to pay parking meter charges on behalf of such occupiers.
§ Mr. MarplesLegislation is not necessary for this purpose. The driver who parks a vehicle at a meter is responsible for the payment of the charge but he is not required to put the coins in the meter himself. Payment can be made only at the time the vehicle is parked except in the case of a vehicle parked overnight, 131W when the payment becomes due at the time the meters come into operation again.
