HC Deb 03 May 1949 vol 464 cc807-8
16. Sir John Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will now make a statement with regard to the licensing and insurance of motor cars owned by members of the Territorial Army and used in connection with their duties.

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Shinwell)

It has been decided that the difference between full rates and half rates will be refunded to members of the Territorial Army who have to pay full licence and insurance when they draw supplementary coupons solely for journeys in connection with their Territorial Army duties. The scheme will be promulgated as soon as administrative details have been settled.

Sir J. Mellor

Did the right hon. Gentleman say that the extra cost of insurance would also be refunded?

Mr. Shinwell

I think the hon. Gentleman had better see the details.
