HC Deb 18 March 1994 vol 239 cc884-5W
Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Lord President of the Council on what basis hon. Members' car allowance is calculated; when this was last reviewed; and what plans he has for review in the near future.

Mr. Newton

Since 1984 hon. Members' car allowance has been calculated on the basis of the "Peyton formula". The rates were last revised with effect from 1 April 1991. As the information hitherto used for such revision is no longer available in the form required by the relevant resolution, I am currently considering how best to establish a secure basis for future updating.
