HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 cc405-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport on how many occasions his Department's enforecement officers have been requested to visit Durham Road, N.7, Jonce Park North, and roads in this area to report unlicensed road vehicles; on how many occasions visits were made and with what results; and when the next visit is planned to take place in this area.

Mr. Marsh

The Ministry has no enforcement officers with responsibilities in these matters.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

is asked the Minister of Transport whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT particulars for the longest convenient stated period of time the number of road vehicles reported to and by his enforcement officers in the London area which were, contrary to the law, observed on the public highway without the display of a road fund licence; what action was taken; how long it took for prosecutions to ensue; how many such prosecutions there were; and what was the total amount of fines imposed and paid.

Mr. Marsh

Responsibility for vehicle excise enforcement in London rests with the Greater London Council. We have no enforcement officers for this purpose.
