Royal Parks (Car Parking)

43.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton
asked the Minister of Works whether he will make a further statement about car parking in the Royal Parks.

Mr. Birch
I am reviewing the problem with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport and the police.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton
It is taking a very long time. Will the Minister give an assurance, before London traffic is brought to a complete standstill, that he will resist pressure from the Minister of Transport, although we know he is in a bit of a jam, to allow buses, lorries, vans and charabancs to park in the Royal Parks?

Mr. Birch
All these considerations will be kept in mind.
