HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 c219W
56. Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the additional revenue from motoring taxation resulting from the increase of taxes imposed in March and November, 1968, he will give new instructions to local authorities cancelling those previously given to them to reduce, by at least 15 per cent., their expenditure on road maintenance.

Mr. Marsh

No.

Taxation collected from motorists, in common with other tax revenue, goes into the Consolidated Fund and has no direct relationship with expenditure on the roads.
