§ 44. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware of the difficulties being experienced in obtaining a free flow of traffic due to the indiscriminate parking of vehicles in the royal parks; what action is taken to ensure that these vehicles are being legally operated; and, as a means of revenue earning, to control the periods of parking and to assist traffic flow, if he will introduce a parking meter scheme in the royal parks.
§ Mr. AmeryThe Royal Parks Regulations control parking in the royal parks. They are enforced by park patrols, and parks staff generally are instructed to report irregularities. Parking meters in the royal parks would in my view be objectionable on environmental grounds.
