§ Mr. David Howellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what mileage rate the tax commissioners are paid in travelling allowances by road and rail, respectively.
§ Mr. TaverneTravelling allowances are payable to General Commissioners of Income Tax if they are required to travel 17W more than three miles to perform their duties. The cost of travel by public transport is reimbursed in full. Where a Commissioner uses his own car, he is paid a mileage rate of 7¾d. or 9¼d. depending on the engine capacity. These rates are under review.
Special Commissioners are paid travelling expenses on the same basis as civil servants.
