§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as under the interpretation of the regulations Civil servants do not receive allowances as scheduled, in view of the benefit to the State accruing from the use in the business of the State of motors privately owned by these Civil servants, arrangements will be made for a more liberal interpretation of the existing regulations, and at the same time either receive exemption or partial exemption from the petrol tax, or permission to rank with medical men in the enjoyment of partial abatement of the motor car tax?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI do not know to what regulations or to what class of Civil servants the hon. Member refers. I understand that my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not, as at present advised, see his way to grant special privileges to Civil servants in respect of motor cars owned by them in their private capacity.
