HC Deb 11 July 1974 vol 876 c534W
Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the light of increased costs, whether he will consider the expenses involved in travel-to-work being allowed against income tax, particularly for those living in rural areas; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Gilbert

My right hon. Friend does not think it would be right to single out this particular form of personal expenditure for tax relief.
