asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet revised the charges paid by Ministers for private use of official cars; and what is the present rate of charge per mile and per hour.

Yes. As was stated by my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary, in reply to a Question on 16th May last, the charge was raised to 1s. 1d. per mile as from 19th April last. Records of private use are not kept on a time basis.
