§ 6. Mr. D. Griffithsasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that in the granting of supplementary petrol allowances to commercial travellers a regional petroleum officer cannot discriminate between a traveller who has a comparatively small area to cover and one with a very large area; and if he will amend this position.
§ Mr. GaitskellAllowances for commercial travellers are assessed according to their needs, subject to a maximum amount which in present circumstances I could not agree to increase.
§ Mr. Byersasked the Minister of Fuel and Power in what circumstances petrol can be issued to honorary secretaries of sporting clubs, including golf, football, cricket and tennis clubs, to carry out the work of the club.
§ Mr. GaitskellAllowances of petrol are not normally granted to honorary secretaries of sporting clubs, but an allowance would be granted on compassionate grounds to a disabled person who had to carry out such work and was entirely dependent on a car for getting about.
