HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 c153W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now correct the information given in his reply to the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury on 21 May concerning the command structure of the traffic warden service in London.

Mr. Mayhew

The Metropolitan traffic district comprises five traffic divisions, each under a chief superintendent. There are four divisional controllers for the five divisions—one having responsibility for two divisions. Each divisional controller controls a number of traffic and senior traffic warden controllers, under each of whom there are traffic warden supervisors and traffic wardens. Commanders of police districts are in close liaison with traffic district but are not in its chain of command.

I regret that the information given in my earlier reply was incorrect.
