25. Sir PAUL LATHAM

asked the Minister of Transport the total amount received by the Road Fund in respect of the administrative county of London for each of the last available five years; and the total payments made from the Road Fund in respect of the administrative county of London for each of the same five years?

Mr. PYBUS

As the answer contains a number of figures, I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

Motor licence duty collected in the administrative county of London, including collections by the Post Office:

£
1926–27 2,873,103
1927–28 3,244,652
1928–29 3,298,179
1929–30 3,405,851
1930–31 3,453,133

These figures exclude the proportion of the licence duties on motor cycles and vehicles taxed on the basis of horsepower retained by the Exchequer.

Payments out of the Road Fund of the administrative county of London:

£
1927–28 637,365
1928–29 570,817

Figures are not available for any year prior to 1927–28.
