HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 cc128-9W
106. Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the effect of the increasing cost of living on councillors serving on local government bodies who, in spite of receiving the maximum allowance for loss of work, are still making sacrifices and experiencing hardship in carrying out this important work; and if he will have an inquiry made into this matter with the view of permitting further allowances under his Regulations.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend has had no special representations on this matter. Legislation would of course be required to alter these allowances.
