People use their own cars. I do not believe an area engineer who hops into his or her car 20 times a day can record all of the journeys made; therefore, there must be some allowance for travel payable to various grades in various counties. I ask Ms Tallon to discuss this matter or provide us with a note on it. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it; an area engineer must have a car and it is better than a local authority having to provide a little truck. I have no argument on that point. I just want to get a feel for the allowance in question.
