HC Deb 02 December 1912 vol 44 c1889W
Dr. ADDISON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that heavy motor-omnibuses do considerable damage to the roadways of London and make no contribution towards the cost of their maintenance as do the tramways, he will consider the possibility in framing the next Finance Bill of imposing such charges upon these vehicles, and distributing the proceeds of the same in such a way as to secure that they make a fair contribution towards the repair and maintenance of the highways?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I must refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to the hon. and learned Member for West St. Pancras on 9th October last.
