Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
I cannot disclose them at the moment, but as I said, I am very hopeful that in the not-too-distant future we will be able to come forward with suggestions.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)
My Lords, one of the reasons for parking on pavements is that cars have got wider. Do the Government have any plans to discriminate between 4x4s—which are wide, long and heavy, and thus also damage pavements—and smaller cars, and encourage the use of the latter in urban areas?
Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
I understand the point the noble Lord makes, but we have no plans to discriminate against 4x4s or wider vehicles at the moment.
