HC Deb 01 May 1882 vol 268 c1810
SIR MASSEY LOPES

asked the President of the Local Government Board, If he can state when he proposes to introduce the Bill, referred to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the expenses of main roads?

MR. DODSON

In answer to the hon. Baronet, I have to say that I hope shortly to be able to make a statement as to the mode in which it is proposed to distribute this grant. I also hope that, as it is a financial arrangement, it will be found practicable to give effect to it without any special legislation.
