HC Deb 05 December 1967 vol 755 cc272-3W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport what were the totals of Government expenditure on parking in each of the years 1963–64 to 1967–68.

Mr. Swingler

Facilities for car parking are provided by local authorities or by private enterprise. The Exchequer is involved only in so far as the expenditure ranks for Rate Support Grant.

Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport what were the totals of local government expenditure on parking in each of the years 1963–64 to 1967–68.

Mr. Swingler

local authorities follows:

Financial Year £ million
1963–64 4.8
1964–65 5.8
1965–66 5.9
1966–67 6.0

The figure for 1967–68 available until after the current financial year.

Current expenditures appear to be roughly equivalent to incomes from charges but precise figures are not readily available.
