HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c352W
72.Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an assurance that the increases in taxation on the motorist, whether private or public, introduced since October, 1964 result in a corresponding increase of Government spending on roads.

Mr. Diamond:

Taxation collected from motorists—in common with other tax revenue—goes into the general Exchequer and has no direct relationship with expenditure on the roads.
