HC Deb 27 March 1980 vol 981 cc660-1W
33. Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the recommendations of the joint working group on the enforcement of traffic regulations in London.

Mr. Brittan

The report of the joint working group on the enforcement of traffic regulations in London provides a very useful analysis of the problems which local authorities and the police have in dealing with the motoring public. Many of the recommendations made in the report are being considered within the context of the review of certain aspects of road traffic law to which my right hon. Friend referred in the reply he gave to a question by my hon. Friend on 29 February.—[Vol. 979 c. 773–74.] Furthemore, a study of Metropolitan Police traffic wardens' pay is being conducted by representatives of the Home Office, the Metropolitan Police and the Civil Service Union.
