asked the Minister of Transport whether he will take powers to provide for the collection of a contribution in addition to the licence from all road users to provide a comprehensive service of patrols, rescue arrangements and communications for use by road users, police, and the public in the interests of safety on the road.

No. The existing arrangements for rescue and communications seem to be in general adequate. Any necessary extension of the patrol system could be better achieved by the further development of mobile police patrols.
