HC Deb 18 January 1996 vol 269 c706W
19. Mr. Spellar

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on current policy regarding wheel clamping on private land; and what proposals he has in this regard. [7867]

Mr. Maclean

The Government believe that wheelclamping can be a sensible and effective means of controlling parking on private land if it is carried out responsibly, taking proper account of the legitimate rights and interests of motorists. In other circumstances it can given rise to problems.

The Government are considering what action, if any, should be taken to deal with these problems.
