PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LAW ON WHEEL CLAMPING (16 December 1992)

That this House expresses concern at the growing practice of private & public organisations employing firms, often with a dubious background and whose employees have no adequate identification, which place wheel clamps on parked cars and then extort large sums of money for releasing the vehicle; acknowledges that this can be a frightening experience especially on dark nights for single women; and urges the Government to make clear that wheel clamping is illegal, extortion a criminal offence, and threats to remove vehicles a serious breach of the peace on which the police should take appropriate action.
