§ Lord Berkeleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will list those local authorities which have adopted decriminalised parking enforcement, and those from whom they have received applications.
§ Baroness HaymanAll local authorities in London had taken on decriminalised parking enforcement powers, under the provisions of the Road Traffic Act 1991, by July 1994.
The 1991 Act also provided for traffic authorities outside London to apply to the Secretary of State for orders conferring similar powers. Three such orders have been made to date, covering Winchester, Oxford and North Hinksey and High Wycombe town centre. One application, from Kent County Council on behalf of Maidstone District Council, is under consideration.
