§ VISCOUNT EMLYNasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether any part of the amount proposed to be raised by the increased Tax upon Carriages will be applied to the maintenance of main roads in South Wales?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GLADSTONE)I am afraid I must refer the noble Viscount to a recent correspondence between myself and several gentlemen who speak on behalf of the counties in the quarter to which his Question draws attention. If the noble Viscount is not in possession of that correspondence, I shall be very happy to give him access to it. I could not, at the present time, enter into the details of a measure which cannot be dealt with piecemeal.
