Viscount Simon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When action will be taken to deal with "cowboy" wheelclampers, as highlighted in the Transport White Paper. [HL590]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

In the Transport White Paper,A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone, we said that we intend to introduce regulation of wheelclamping as part of a package of statutory measures to regulate the private security industry as a whole. The Home Secretary intends to bring forward firm proposals for regulating the private security industry, and will be making an announcement to that effect soon.
