HC Deb 30 July 1907 vol 179 c773
MR. REES

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the Government contemplates making the main roads a national charge.

The PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) Battersea

My right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exehequer has already stated that this matter shall be considered when the general question of local taxation comes to be dealt with I do not think I can add anything to that statement.
