§ 49. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will amend the Local Government Act, 1948, so as to allow for a refund of travelling expenses of local councillors within their areas from their homes for attendance at county or town halls or other necessary administrative places in the course of their duties.
§ Mr. SandysI am looking into this problem with a view to forming an opinion as to whether a change in the present arrangement is desirable.
§ Mr. ParkerWill the Minister bear in mind that increased fares are a heavy burden on many people taking part in public life at the present time?
§ Mr. SandysYes, I well realise that.
