asked the Secretary of State for War how many officers and other ranks of the Territorial Army receive motor mileage allowance at the higher and lower rates, respectively; and what were the total sums involved for the latest convenient period.

During the nine months ending 31st December last year, claims amounting to about £84,000 were paid. I regret that the number of payments involved and the amounts paid at the various rates are not available and cannot be obtained without undue research.
