To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number and names of individuals and organisations who responded to the public consultation exercise on wheel clamping.

Approximately 2,400 copies of the consultation paper were distributed and 184 responses have been received. Respondents were not asked to agree to the publication of their names when their comments were invited and it would not be appropriate now to identify them. However, the table shows the categories to which these respondents belong.
