HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c316W
49. Mr. David Stoddart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware of the continuing danger, especially to children, of street trading from mobile vans, particularly ice-cream vans; and if he will now introduce legislation requiring such traders to sell their wares only at such selected safe sites as may be prescribed by the local authority.

Mr. Peyton

I am not convinced that legislation is the best way to tackle this problem.
