§ MR. GARDNER (Berkshire, Wokingham)said he wished to call attention to the Heavy Motor-Car Order, 1904, dated the 27th day of December; and to move, "That, in the opinion of this House, the Heavy Motor-Car Order, dated the 27th day of December, 1904, permits traffic for which the large majority of the highways of the country are unfit, is likely to be oppressively burdensome in cost to the local authorities, and dangerous to foot passengers as well as all other users of the highways, and ought to be annulled." He said he remembered the patience with which many hon. Members sat for hours to get a Motor-Car Bill through. It was passed, although not altogether with the approval of the whole House, because it was believed that it would bring about an improvement in the then existing state of things. It was not to be wondered at that a clause like Clause 12 had passed through without observation as to what its real effect would be. He did not think that anyone had the least idea that it gave power to the Local Government Board to issue the regulations of which he complained.
