HC Deb 07 March 1940 vol 358 c578W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Secretary for Mines whether the special allowance of petrol granted to members of the British Expeditionary Force on leave is restricted to those who possess motor cars registered in their own names; and whether he will take steps to make this special allowance available when the motor car which the soldier intends to use is registered in the name of a parent, or his wife, or other near relative?

Mr. Lloyd

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. The conditions governing special allowance of petrol to members of His Majesty's Forces on leave from overseas are at present under review in conjunction with the three Service Departments.
