§ MR. CLARE READasked the President of the Local Government Board, If he contemplates in the next Session of Parliament introducing a measure to amend "The Highways and Locomotives Act. 1878?"
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTH, in reply, said, that a similar Question had been put to him some months ago. As he had then stated, the matter was in progress, and he had given directions for the preparation of a measure to consolidate and amend the provisions of the old Highways Acts. As there were several important subjects in his Department requiring legislation, he could not state at what period the Bill in question could be introduced.
