Mr. David Adamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that mileage allowances, granted to employés of various Government Departments who use their private motor-car upon official duties, are those which prevailed prior to the war, and that with the increased cost of petrol, repairs and renewals, hardship and financial loss is resulting to many such civil servants; and whether he will take the necessary steps to increase mileage allowances?
§ Sir K. WoodThe question of modifying the mileage allowance regulations is at present under consideration.
