HC Deb 30 April 1888 vol 325 cc891-2
MR. JEFFREYS (Hants, Basingstoke)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether the new duty to be imposed on carts and waggons, will relieve the owners from being charged for any damage done to the roads by what is called "extraordinary traffic?"

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

No, Sir; I presume it will not. The damage done by extraordinary traffic is clearly different from very heavy ordinary traffic.
