HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 c517W
Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if additional payments by employers to meet increases in travelling costs are subject to any restrictions under the terms of present pay policy within the social contract.

Mr. Harold Walker

Travelling expenses which are necessarily incurred in the course of employment and which are reimbursed under existing arrangements may be increased in line with actual increases in costs.

Improvements in real terms must be offset against the pay limits.
