HC Deb 29 March 1968 vol 761 c347W
Mr. Beaney

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that some members of local authorities travelling on council business, particularly to London, and having to stay away from home overnight are finding it a hardship to pay their expenses from the present subsistence payments allowed under the Local Government Act, 1948, Allowances to Members Regulations, 1965; and if he will consider amending the regulations to remove this hardship.

Mr. Skeffington

No general representations have been made to my right hon. Friend for the revision of the current rates.
