HC Deb 21 May 1965 vol 712 cc296-7W
Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many county and county borough police forces, respectively, have appointed traffic wardens.

Mr. George Thomas

Eleven county and 23 county borough police authorities have appointed traffic wardens.

Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many chief constables of county and county borough police forces, respectively, have indicated their intention to use traffic wardens to control moving traffic under the Functions of Traffic Wardens Order, 1965.

Mr. George Thomas

Chief constables of all areas in which traffic wardens are at present employed are considering their use to aid the police in the control and regulation of moving traffic. I understand that in 12 city and county borough and two county forces there are plans for so using them in the near future.
