HL Deb 09 December 1999 vol 607 c102WA
Earl Attlee

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to act over the problem of wheel clamping of vehicles on private land without any statutory authority. [HL167]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

In the White PaperThe Government's Proposals for Regulating the Private Sector Industry in England and Wales, issued earlier this year, we announced proposals to regulate private wheel dampers as part of a package of statutory measures to regulate the private security industry as a whole. We will introduce legislation to Parliament as soon as parliamentary time allows.
