HC Deb 19 December 1994 vol 251 c875W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to monitor the effectiveness of local councils over traffic control and parking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norris

Counties, metropolitan districts and London boroughs, as local traffic authorities, are primarily responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of traffic control and parking on all local roads in their areas. My right hon. Friend already monitors the effectiveness of the legal framework within which the local traffic authorities must work.
