HC Deb 25 November 1949 vol 470 cc58-9W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will reconsider the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a research teacher of London University, King's College, living at Epping, who has been refused petrol for his journey to London, although the public transport provided entails a loss daily of some two hours of time, to the serious detriment of the college, which has officially supported his application without success.

Mr. Robens

Further consideration has been given to this case and as a result the regional petroleum officer is making an allowance of petrol to the research teacher concerned for the journey between his residence and Epping railway station. In view of the adequate public transport facilities between Epping and London a petrol allowance for this journey to be made by car would not be justified.
