HC Deb 06 August 1942 vol 382 cc1196-7
82. Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether motorists are now permitted to give lifts to persons, provided no additional mileage is involved?

Mr. T. Smith

Yes, Sir, in the case of vehicles licensed by the owner.

Mr. Morrison

Does the hon. Gentleman appreciate that in a case I know of two directors of the same firm live in the same street, and each has to proceed to business in his own car, and will he clear up that position?

Mr. Smith

I know there are anomalies, but if my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind, I will be pleased to give it consideration.

Sir P. Harris

Are we allowed when travelling in a car to give lifts to hitchhikers?
