§ 89. Mr. Turner-Samuelsasked the Minister of Health whether his regulations provide that the period over which financial loss is necessarily incurred within the meaning of Part VI of the Local Government Act. 1948. which 69W provides for the payment of travelling and subsistence allowances to, and expenses incurred by, members of the local authorities and other bodies, must in all cases be the same as the period during which public duties, which were the occasion of the loss, were performed.
§ Mr. BevanThe point is governed by Section 112 of the Act itself. The period referred to in that Section as determining the amount of financial loss allowance is not the period during which duties are performed but the period of time over which earnings are lost or additional expenses are incurred.
