§ Mr. Mitchisonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in what cases, and under what statutory provisions, he has imposed limits on the amounts recoverable by persons performing public duties in respect of financial loss or of travelling or subsistence expenses incurred by them; and what are the limits in each case.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI assume that the hon. Member is referring to compensation for loss of remunerative time, and travelling and subsistence expenses for members of the public who serve in 131W an unpaid capacity as members of Government committees, Royal Commissions and similar bodies. The rules governing these matters are somewhat lengthy and I am sending the hon. Member a copy of them. They are not subject to any statutory provision.
