§ Sir G. Sinclairasked the Minister of Transport in view of the need to check the increasing numbers of private cars visiting London daily, what steps she is proposing to take to encourage local authorities in the areas round London to build or extend car parks for the use of the London commuters, many of whom will come from outside the local authority area.
§ Mr. SwinglerWe are very much aware of the importance of this problem, which is primarily a matter for the Greater London Council as the traffic authority for London. We would expect the Council, in their current review of parking measures, to give attention to the provision of car parks for interchange with public transport services and my right hon. Friend proposes to consider this with them, when she receives their report.
