Liberal Democrats keep their promise on clamping
August 23, 2010 11:39 AM
Liberal Democrats in government will be keeping another manifesto promise when car clamping on private land is banned. Liberal Democrat ministers Lynne Featherstone and Norman Baker have announced that car clamping on private land is to be banned as part of the Freedom Bill this Autumn.
Making the announcement, Home Office minister Lynne Featherstone MP said: "The Government is committed to ending the menace of rogue private sector wheel clampers once and for all.
For too long motorists have fallen victim to unscrupulous tactics by many clamping firms. Reports of motorists being marched to cash points, or left stranded after their car has been towed, are simply unacceptable.
A ban on clamping and towing on private land will end this abuse, and companies who decide to flout new laws will face severe penalties."
