§ 54. Sir R. Nugentasked the Minister of Transport what is his policy with regard to parking-meter and other traffic engineering schemes in London, and with regard to proposals to extend 182W them outwards from the central area; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Tom FraserMy policy has been to encourage meter schemes in suitable places beyond the central areas already controlled, and to apply other traffic engineering measures progressively in outer as well as inner areas. Since 1st April last, responsibility for these matters in London has been with the Greater London Council. It will be for them to consider proposals for further extensions to meter schemes and to initiate other measures where they think it appropriate.
