HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 c62W
Earl of DALKEITH

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has received. from the Association of Scottish County Councils a representation in favour of the statutes relative to the construction, use, regulation, and taxation of road vehicles being amended and consolidated; whether he is aware that that association and many road authorities and others interested regard such legislation as urgent; and whether it is his intention to introduce in the present Session, or at some other early date, a Bill dealing with all or some of the branches of the subject indicated in this question?

Colonel ASHLEY

The answer to the first and second parts of the question are in the affirmative. With regard to the last part, as I have already stated on previous occasions, it is the intention of the Government to introduce as soon as practicable a Measure dealing with the construction, use and regulation of road vehicles. There is no present intention of introducing any substantial modification in the system of taxation.
