HC Deb 22 March 1946 vol 420 c427W
Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether commercial travellers returned from the Forces, who cover grounds that can only be effectively worked by cars, can be given additional petrol and tyre allowance and car priority.

Mr. Shinwell

I could not justify the grant of higher allowances to commercial travellers who have returned from the Forces than to other commercial travellers, and any increase must wait till scales for commercial travellers generally and other business and professional purposes can be increased.
