§ Mr. PeartA Resolution of the House of 18th May, 1961, provided for the payment of car allowances not exceeding the fare by rail and based on the average fuel consumption of the car used. In practice the rates varied between 1.43d. per mile and 6d. per mile according to the type of car.
Following a recommendation of the Lawrence Committee, the House resolved on 18th December, 1964, that the mileage allowance for travel by road should be 4½d. per mile, a sum based on the general rate per mile for first-class rail travel.
