§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent in the Metropolitan area persons and organisations other than the police are allowed to enforce the law on stated road traffic regulations, etc.; and whether, as in Constitution Hill, White- 332W hall, The Broadway, S.W.1, etc., lorries of 60 feet in length are not allowed to park all day and all night without lights, he will see that these other organisations enforce the law in similar circumstances in Stratford Broadway, E.15, and the surrounding areas.
§ Mr. SharplesEnforcement of the law is in general for the police, supported by traffic wardens. This is a matter for the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, and it is not open to my right hon. Friend to issue instructions to him. Nor is it open to him to instruct those concerned in the enforcement of byelaw and other regulations.
