HC Deb 18 February 1948 vol 447 cc239-40W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what arrangements have been made in respect of the case of a rural general practitioner, brought to his notice by the hon. Member for London University, who was unable effectively to carry on his practice because of the restriction by the local fuel office of his supply of petrol.

Mr. Gaitskell

As I have already informed the hon. Member, an allowance has been granted in accordance with the recommendations of the medical liaison officer.

Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power why, in allocating essential petrol allowance to insurance agents, no account is taken of the size of the area which it is their duty to cover.

Mr. Gaitskell

Allowances for insurance agents are assessed according to their needs, subject to the maximum laid down for this class of user.
