§ 28. Mr. KIRKWOODasked the Minister of Transport how many local authorities in Scotland have exercised their powers to provide omnibus stances and to charge rents for the use of the stances; and will he, in view of the need for economy, advise local authorities to arrange for the charging of rents for omnibus stances?
§ Mr. PYBUSThree such authorities have exercised their powers under the Road Traffic Act, 1930, to provide 1772 stances. Reasonable charges may be made for the use of land off the highway for this purpose, but the law does not permit charges to be made for the use of the highway itself.
