HC Deb 06 March 1918 vol 103 cc1995-6W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the increased cost of motor spirit, lubricating oils, illuminants, repairs, and renewals, he will authorise without delay a corresponding increase in the mileage rates, fixed in the year 1911, for motor cycles and motor cars used by officers of Customs and Excise in the performance of public business

Mr. BONAR LAW

The rates of mileage allowances payable for private motor cars and motor cycles used by officers of Customs and Excise are the rates approved for the public service generally, and I see no reason to consider that they are insufficient to cover the cost of motoring under present conditions.
