HC Deb 24 March 1981 vol 1 c280W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the line of command for traffic wardens in London puts wardens in each division under control of district commanders, or some other officer; and, in the latter event, to whom.

Mr. Mayhew

I understand from the Commissioner that traffic wardens are under the operational direction and control of the commander of the traffic district, which comprises the whole of the Metropolitan Police district. Day-to-day control is exercised by traffic chief superintendents in close liaison with senior officers in divisions.
