HC Deb 03 April 1974 vol 871 cc392-3W
Mr. Wall

asked the Lord President of the Council if, in view of the increase in petrol prices since Members' petrol allowance was established at 5p per mile in November 1970, he will now move to increase this allowance.

Mr. Edward Short

I have a great deal of sympathy with the point the hon. Member makes. The Government are considering the action that needs to be taken.
