Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the President of the Local Government Board if he had received applications from any local authorities for an extension of the speed limit on public roads when the Prince Henry motor cup is to be competed for; and if he would cause full inquiry to be made with regard to the said competition before giving it is his approval?
§ Mr. BURNSI have received no applications of the kind referred to. I do not gather from the information before me that the competition is a speed competition, and I may say that I am not empowered to give or withhold any approval with respect to it.
