Members of the Territorial Army who use their cars for War Department duties for which a War Department car would otherwise have had to be provided receive the same allowance as members of the Regular Army in the same circumstances and I am satisfied that these rates are adequate. The rate of 1½d. a mile for those who use their cars for attendance at drills when public transport facilities are not available has recently been reviewed and an increase to 3d. a mile with effect from 25th September has now been authorised. An additional ½d. a mile will be allowed for each member of the Territorial Army carried as passenger who otherwise qualifies for refund of travelling expenses.
