HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 c365W
Mr. Awdry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will standardise the amount of travel compensation for witnesses attending police courts.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The amounts payable in indictable cases are prescribed in the Witnesses' Allowances Regulations, 1966, and chief constables have been advised to take these regulations as a guide for the payment of expenses to prosecution witnesses in summary cases.
