HC Deb 16 December 1992 vol 216 cc285-6W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what changes have been made in the rules on travel expenses for civil servants.

Mr. Dorrell

As part of our ongoing programme for delegating to departments and agencies greater responsibility for managing personnel management policies, Departments and agencies have been given the freedom to determine the conditions on which advances of salary to assist civil servants in the purchase of bicycles for home-to-office travel are made.
