HL Deb 26 July 1983 vol 443 c1522WA
Lord Brougham and Vaux

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the average and the maximum time recorded so far between payment of the required charge for releasing a clamp immobilising an illegally parked car and the removal of that clamp by the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Lucas of Chilworth

These release times depend on the operational circumstances. It would be misleading to quote average or maximum figures at any particular date.
