§ Mr. Wheelerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will 172W list the London boroughs and show for each what revenue is obtained from the parking meter system; and what are the costs in each case for administering that system, so as to distinguish between meter revenue and revenue from excess and parking tickets.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI have been asked to reply.
I regret that this information is not available; local authorities are not required to make separate returns to central Government of the income from parking meters and the costs of administration of the system. Fixed penalties are payable to the courts.
