§ Sir Clive Bossomasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many additional traffic wardens will have to be employed to enforce parking regulations in the inner London area if parking meter schemes covering an area of 40 square miles are introduced as proposed by the Greater London Council

§ Sir Clive Bossomasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many traffic wardens are at present employed to enforce parking regulations in London; and whether it has been possible to recruit adequate numbers of suitable candidates for such employment.
§ Mr. Roy Jenkins522 traffic wardens are at present employed in the Metropolitan Police District. This is 100 more than in April—due mainly to the opening of recruitment in Central London to women. The existing establishment is 631, and I hope that it will be possible to bring the strength up to this figure by the autumn.
