HC Deb 20 October 1976 vol 917 cc478-9W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether assurances of stricter compliance with parking regulations have been given by the Nigerian High Commission.

Mr. Tomlinson

Discussions with the Nigerians have been hampered by the absence for almost a year of a Nigerian High Commissioner in London. But the recently arrived Acting High Commissioner has assured us of his willingness to give the problem his urgent attention and to discuss it more fully in the near future.

Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which diplomatic missions have assisted him by providing continued cooperation in efforts to find solutions to parking problems of diplomats in London.

Mr. Tomlinson

I have little to add to the answers I gave last week to my hon. and learned Friend on this subject. In pursuing their discussion with diplomatic missions my officials are being assisted by officials of the Greater London Council. I really do not think that it would be helpful to single out any particular missions for special mention: the figures speak for themselves.
