§ Mr. P. WHITEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether Members of Parliament who use their motor cars solely in the public welfare of their constituencies will be treated as a private owner who uses his car for pleasure only?
Mr. HARCOURTI am clear that no differentiation can be made between Members of Parliament and other private owners. Members of this House should be the first to set a good example.
§ 43. Mr. WHITEasked whether assistant county surveyors who use motor bicycles for the purpose of overseeing direct labour on roads, and who have a stipulated distance to travel every month, will be limited to a 2-gallon supply, the same as those who use motor cycles for pleasure only?
Mr. HARCOURTI am not sure that it is practicable at present to increase the allowance of petrol to any classes of persons who require it for motor cycles, but I will consider the somewhat special case which the hon. Member has in mind.
