§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will withdraw the Order permitting heavy motor-cars weighing up to twelve tons and permitted to travel at a speed not exceeding twelve miles an hour, in view of the danger to road bridges and the damage by vibration to buildings, cellars, pipes, mains, and sewers.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR, Leeds, Central)With regard to the speed to which motor-cars weighing up to twelve tons are restricted I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his Question of the 8th inst.† No information has at present reached the Local Government Board which would justify the withdrawal of the Order to which he refers.
