HC Deb 17 June 1971 vol 819 c132W
Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he now has for giving stronger powers to the Metropolitan Police for removing heavy lorries and trailers that are a source of environmental pollution to the residents parked at night in residential areas.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

None. The Greater London Council has adequate powers to prohbit parking on environmental grounds and the police are empowered to remove vehicles that contravene such restrictions.
