HC Deb 16 April 1981 vol 3 c228W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will arrange for a table to be published at a suitable time and in a convenient format on a regular basis indicating the travelling expenses claimed during the last financial year by each right hon. and hon. Member.
