§ LORD POLWARTHI beg to ask the question standing in my name.
§ [The question was as follows:
§ To ask His Majesty's Government whether, in view of the forthcoming increases in petrol allowances for motor vehicles, they propose to increase petrol allowances for private and club-owned aircraft, and aircraft operated by charter companies.]
§ LORD AMMONMy Lords, it is proposed to increase the allowance of civil aviation fuel for aircraft in this country, and it is hoped to make an announcement shortly.
§ LORD POLWARTHI thank the noble Lord for his reply. May I ask him how soon we may expect this announcement?
§ LORD AMMONAs soon as ever it is possible to arrive at a decision.
