HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 cc616-7W
Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he has any power to assist the inhabitants of Chigwell Row and Lambourne in the conditions created by the running of constant motor omnibuses at the rate of about 100 per day, not only ruining the roads, but rendering houses uninhabitable by reason of the dust?

Mr. BURNS

The powers of the Local Government Board with regard to the use of motor cars on particular highways are practically confined to the Regulations which may be made under Sections 8 and 9 of the Motor Car Act, 1903, with a view to the public safety.
