HC Deb 04 August 1976 vol 916 cc826-7W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for what reason he will not change his present policy so as to enable chairmen of nationalised industries to be supplied with cars at Government expense after they have ceased to hold office, on the same basis as the two former Prime Ministers.

Mr. Joel Barnett

Because this would not be a proper charge to Government funds.
