118. Mr. W. T. Williamsasked the Minister of Transport what proposals have been put to him by the Royal Borough of Chelsea to set apart parts of the highway to owners of property within the borough as parking areas and to deny parking facilities therein to nonresidents; and what is his policy towards such proposals.
§ Mr. Tom FraserNo formal proposals have been put to me, but my Department has had discussions with the council about the general form a controlled parking scheme might take. I would not be opposed to a workable arrangement for giving residents preference over commuters in suitable places not needed for short-term parking.
