HC Deb 23 July 1968 vol 769 c71W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will move to raise the car mileage allowance payable to hon. Members in view of the increases in licence duty and petrol and oil costs since the rates were last revised in 1954.

Mr. Harold Lever

This allowance is not related to costs incurred, but to the cost of the alternative means of travel by rail.
