asked what was the amount of the Carriage and Motor Car Licences collected by the several county councils in England and Wales during the last complete financial year; the proportion of such amount retained by these bodies towards the cost of county work; and the proportion taken by the Imperial Exchequer for the purposes of the Road Board?

I regret that the complete figures for 1912–13 are not yet available.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the figures will be available?

As soon as possible.
