HC Deb 31 January 1878 vol 237 cc722-3
SIR BALDWYN LEIGKHTON

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether, in the Highways Bill, he would be disposed to introduce a Clause for the regulation of wheels, seeing that since the removal of turn- pike gates the width of wheels of ordinary vehicles has been in many cases altered, to the detriment of the roads?

MR. SCLATER - BOOTH,

in reply, said, that in the Bill referred to by the hon. Baronet, which he hoped would be in the hands of hon. Members on, if not before, Saturday, he had introduced a clause which would enable County Boards, among other things, to mate regulations as to the width of the wheels of vehicles.
