§ MR. STUART-WORTLEYasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether there is any prospect that the Government will during the present Session do anything to satisfy the expectation raised by his right honourable predecessor's answer to a deputation which last year urged upon the Board the need of further regulating the use of steam traction engines upon high roads?
§ MR. HIBBERT, in reply, said, that the important representations made by the deputation had been carefully considered by the Local Government Board. While the Board admitted the desirability of imposing some further restrictions on the use of these engines, looking to the measures proposed for the present Session, they were unable to hold out any expectation of a Government measure on the subject being introduced this year.
