HC Deb 14 April 1981 vol 3 c83W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of widespread non-application of the law against illegal parking of vehicles, particularly in the metropolis, he will issue a circular to all police authorities on the subject, and will seek to convene a conference at which both police authorities and local authorities would be represented to investigate how, in the interests of public safety, long-term illegal parking can be ended.

Mr. Mayhew

No. The responsibility for the use of their resources and liaison with the local authorities rests with chief officers of police, who are well aware of current traffic problems.
