HC Deb 24 July 1974 vol 877 c490W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, because whenever there is a large-scale procession of workers in the central London area a large number of taxi drivers cease work for the period involved, to avoid this, he will request the Chief Commissioner of the police to maintain the traffic flow by keeping marchers as close as possible to the kerb.

Dr. Summerskill

This is already the practice of the police.
