HC Deb 24 October 1944 vol 404 cc35-6
63. Lady Apsley

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will instruct his regional officers to give special concessions to disabled and invalided ex-Service officers and men who apply for petrol allowances in order to carry on small businesses.

Major Lloyd George

A petrol allowance is granted to any disabled person to enable him to carry on a business where it can be shown that a car is necessary for this purpose.

Lady Apsley

May I ask my right hon. and gallant Friend if he will press these facts home to his representatives in the South-West region?

Major Lloyd George

I will certainly look into that.

Mr. De la Bère

Will the Minister also look into the Midland region, where ex-Servicemen have not had the treatment they should have had?

Mr. Magnay

And will the Minister also look into the Northern Division?
