To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis on the level of observance of "no coach parking" signs.

I understand from the Commissioner that no separate figures are recorded for non-compliance with "no coach parking" signs. Police and traffic wardens take action against instances of illegal coach parking whenever possible, which may include the removal of offending coaches to police car pounds. The Metropolitan police will be conducting a special coach parking advice and enforcement campaign during the summer months in the central London area.
