§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether she will seek to give further powers to traffic wardens including power to report unlicensed vehicles and will include proposals to speed up action to enforce the law when such reports are made by the police, traffic wardens and enforcement officers.
§ Mr. CarmichaelWe hope to introduce, in agreement with my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, legislation which will extend the powers of traffic wardens to include,inter alia, the reporting of apparently unlicensed vehicles. The second part of the Question is not a matter for legislation.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether, when introducing her proposals to give power to traffic wardens to report unlicensed vehicles, she will seek to introduce a system of automatic fines, or notice of intent of prosecution to be placed on the windscreen of such vehicles by traffic wardens, on a similar basis to fines for parking offences, as is now generally in operation throughout the country.
§ Mr. CarmichaelI would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer I gave to his Question yesterday.—[Vol. 753, c.105.]
