HC Deb 01 June 1981 vol 5 cc245-6W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money is paid by Islington borough council to the Metropolitan Police specifically for the cost of enforcing parking control in the borough, apart from the normal police precept; and how this sum is calculated.

Mr. Mayhew

In 1980–81 the London borough of Islington paid £104,802 plus VAT for the services of traffic wardens in controlled parking zones. This basis of charging was the subject of an agreement between the Metropolitan Police and the London Boroughs Association in 1978.
