HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 c123W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Paymaster-General why Glasgow taxi-cab owners are to get an increase of only 84 gallons of petrol a month, after a decision was reached that the mileage done by provincial taxi-cabs justified an increase in the maximum provincial allowance to 100 gallons per month.

Mr. Maudling

100 gallons per month is the maximum allowance for provincial taxi-cabs of 20 horse-power and over. Taxi-cabs of lower horse-power merit lower allowances.
