HC Deb 17 June 1913 vol 54 cc194-5
25. Mr. BUTLER LLOYD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will undertake in the near future to make a larger and more adequate contribution from the Imperial Exchequer towards the cost of maintenance and upkeep of highways, consequent upon the ever-increasing use of them for through traffic by motor cars and heavy locomotives, which is rapidly becoming intolerable to the local authorities?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

This question is one affecting the relations between Imperial and local taxation, and is now being considered by the Local Taxation Committee.
