Parking and Traffic Offences

Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville Excerpts

Wednesday 6th October 2010 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, we will listen carefully to any suggestions that local authorities make about how to solve this problem. They need to remember that there are two problems: first, there is criminality, and with criminal problems it is easier to get the details from local authorities; but when, secondly, there are civil offences, registering authorities overseas are much less willing to give us the data that we need to pursue these civil debts.

[Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville]

My Lords, for parking offences, who are the three major offenders among foreign countries?

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, unfortunately I will have to write to the noble Lord.
