HC Deb 16 March 1981 vol 1 cc44-5W
Mr. Allan Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the fact that councillors' taxable attendance allowances have not been reviewed by him for more than a year, he now proposes to review them; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. King

Regulations increasing the maximum rates of attendance allowance and financial loss allowance were laid on 20 February and came into operation on 14 March. The new maximum rates are £14 per day for attendance allowance, and £17 per day and £8.50 per half day for financial loss allowance.
