HC Deb 03 December 1974 vol 882 c459W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he estimates would be the cost to the revenue of enabling people living in rural areas over five miles from their place of work where satisfactory alternative bus services are not available to have either a proportion of VAT remitted on gasolene or the cost of the essential journey by car constituted as an allowance against income tax.

Dr. Gilbert

I regret that the information necessary for making such an estimate is not available.
