HC Deb 09 November 1908 vol 195 c1703
MR. CATHCART WASON

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the Local Government Board have refused, without local inquiry, the application of any local authority to reduce the speed of motors under Section 9 of the Motor Act, 1903; and, if so, can he state on what grounds such refusal for inquiry is justified.

MR. JOHN BURNS

I do not find that any application made to the Local Government Board under Section 9 of the Motor Car Act, 1903, has been refused without local inquiry.
