HC Deb 25 May 1932 vol 266 c350
30. Mr. LOVAT-FRASER

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the damage done to buildings in the principal streets of old towns and cities throughout the country by the vibration caused by large motor vehicles; and whether he will take steps to deal with this evil?

Mr. PYBUS

Yes, Sir. I believe that the most effective remedy lies in the direction of the more extensive use of pneumatic tyres on heavy motor vehicles. The Government have taken steps to accelerate this process by offering substantial rebates in taxation.

Mr. KIRKPATRICK

Have the Government considered the possibility of using rubber roads?

Mr. PYBUS

Yes, the question of rubber roads has been investigated.
