HC Deb 05 August 1913 vol 56 c1259
80. Captain WARING

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether applications have been made by medical practitioners in the highland of Banffshire for an increase of mileage rate on account of bad roads and the difficulty of access to many districts, especially in the winter season; and whether, in view of the fact that the English Insurance Commissioners have already granted increased mileage in respect of certain mountainous districts in England, he will take steps to see that the Scottish Commissioners do not delay coming to a decision in respect of similar districts in Scotland?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am informed that the Scottish Commissioners have received one representation of the kind referred to, and that they hope to complete shortly a scheme for the distribution of the sum available from the Special Mileage Fund.
