HC Deb 15 April 1970 vol 799 c251W
Mr. Pink

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to arrange for traffic wardens, in the course of their normal duties, to record the registration numbers of cars not displaying a current road fund licence and report them to the police for appropriate action.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

My right hon. Friend is considering proposals for widening the functions of traffic wardens to include enforcement of the Vehicles (Excise) Act, 1962. It is for chief officers of police to decide what tasks shall be undertaken by traffic wardens within the functions prescribed as appropriate for them by law.
