HC Deb 08 December 1978 vol 959 cc802-3W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make provision for a tax-deductible annual allowance of £122.20 to be permitted for all people in full-time employment for travelling expenses.

Mr. Robert Sheldon,

pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 7th December 1978], gave the following answer:

I assume the hon. Member is referring to the expenses of travelling between home and work I do not think that it would be right to single out this particular form of expenditure for tax relief.
