§ 68. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been drawn to the statement made on Monday, 9th November by a police inspector, deputy to the Unit Commander of Southwark, on the breakdown in enforcing parking restrictions with particular reference to heavy lorries and such vehicles; and what action he proposes to take to assist the police in their endeavours to enforce the law.
§ Mr. CarlisleMy right hon. Friend understands that the officer concerned had primarily in mind the essentially practical problem of fitting large vehicles into narrow streets. He has consulted the Commissioner of Police, who does not suggest that changes in police powers are called for.
