HL Deb 07 February 2002 vol 631 cc115-6WA
Lord Bradshaw

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Falconer of Thoroton on 17 January (WA 177) and given that camera enforcement has been well established for bus lanes in London, why it has taken so long to undertake internal consultation among government departments to extend this consultation to areas outside London which have decriminalised parking enforcement status. [HL2424]

The Minister of State, Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)

It is important that we get the regulations right. We will consult as soon as possible.
