HC Deb 09 April 1965 vol 710 c118W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will state the approximate cost per head for 1964 of travelling expenses of persons employed in his Department.

Mr. Mellish

For the financial year 1964–65, the figure was about £44 per head. This includes subsistence expenses as well as the cost of travelling: these two items are not shown separately in the accounts. District audit staff whose expenses are recoverable from local authorities have not been included in the calculation.
