HC Deb 25 May 1972 vol 837 cc437-8W
33. Mr. Worsley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the practice of the Metropolitan Police with regard to prosecuting the owners of cars with CD plates for parking offences.

Mr. Carlisle

Unless it is known that a person parking a car bearing CD plates is entitled to diplomatic immunity, an infringement of the parking regulations is normally dealt with by way of a fixed penalty notice, as for any other vehicle. The notice would be cancelled if on inquiry it proved that a driver who failed to pay the penalty enjoyed immunity.
