§ 59. Lady CYNTHIA MOSLEYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is prepared to recommend to the House that Members who are forced to hire taximeter cabs to get home because they are detained by Sittings of the House after ordinary means of transport have ceased to run should be accorded the same facilities for obtaining refund as departmental civil servants required to be in attendance in the official gallery?
§ Mr. PETHICK - LAWRENCEThe terms of the Vote under which travelling expenses of Members of Parliament are payable do not admit of the refund of expenses of the kind indicated in the question.
§ Lady MOSLEYWould it not be possible for the hon. Gentleman to go into the question that I did raise in my question?
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEWill the hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of communicating with the multimillionaires on his own side who have motor cars?
