HC Deb 22 June 1910 vol 18 cc345-6
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the resolution of the Down County Council with regard to the damage done to public roads by traction engines; and whether he will consider the expediency of putting a tax on these ponderous vehicles and of refunding the proceeds to local authorities?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I have received a communication on the subject from the hon. Member himself, and I need hardly say that I shall be glad to consider his suggestion.
