HC Deb 27 June 1966 vol 730 cc201-3W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give details of how the £111,453 surplus parking meter revenue for the year ended 31st March 1965 was spent on the provision and maintenance of off-street parking, showing the geographical locations and number of parking spaces provided in each case.

Mr. Swingler

Local authorities responsible for parking meters in the London Area generally use their surplus parking meter revenue to offset annual deficits in their Off-Street Parking Accounts. There Accounts embrace all off-street car parks under their control and it is not possible to relate surplus revenue to particular projects.

Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give the gross income, expenditure on administration, enforcement, maintenance, servicing of loans, and taxation, respectively, for parking meters in each of the London boroughs for the years ended 31st March 1964 and 31st March 1965.
