HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 cc325-6W
46. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Transport what information she has about measures taken by local authorities to relieve traffic congestion, to provide both on-street and off-street parking, and about the costs of various types of parking schemes now in operation, including costs borne by the police or traffic wardens; and if she will collate this information and either publish it in a circular to be made available to local authorities or in a White Paper.

Mr. Swingler

Local authorities are required to give my right hon. Friend only the minimum information necessary for the exercise of her statutory powers of control. We see no point in publishing it.
