HC Deb 08 November 1967 vol 753 c128W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what instructions are given to the Metropolitan Police regarding their directing the drivers of road taxed vehicles to move on when they are alleged to be causing obstruction; and why no action is taken against the owners of dozens of unlicensed vehicles which are allowed to remain for days in the same roads.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Standing instructions are that unauthorised or unreasonable waiting is to be prevented, due regard being paid to traffic conditions at the time and the purpose and period for which a vehicle is left. This applies whether or not the vehicle has been licensed.
