§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make special arrangements to meet the costs incurred by local authorities when repairing pedestrian pavements due to damage caused by the parking of motor vehicles.
§ Mrs. ChalkerNo. I regret the damage caused by parking on pavements but it would not be feasible to identify the costs separately. Very many factors have to be taken into account in deciding how much road maintenance expenditure to accept for transport supplementary grant.
