HC Deb 06 May 1948 vol 450 c143W
6. Mr. C. Smith

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware of the hardship caused by the arbitrary maximum allowance of petrol to motor cycles; and whether, since motorcyclists already receiving allowances are not normally able to benefit by sharing of facilities he will sympathetically review the position of motor cycle allowances with a view to allowing the former maximum to be exceeded in cases of proved hardship.
