HC Deb 16 June 1978 vol 951 c689W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will call for a report from the Chief Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis on his policy of securing that local police stations should use local authority orders and traffic regulations as a means of discouraging motorcades in support of candidates in elections or of other causes.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me that it is his practice to draw any relevant statutory provisions to the attention of those wishing to organise motorcades within the Metropolitan Police District and to point out that experience has shown that such events can cause obstruction and inconvenience to other road users.
