The increased travelling allowances set out in the letter of 31st May, 1962, referred to by the Deputy, were expressed to relate to districts which are mainly rural and districts which are mainly urban, but are not in county boroughs. In the county boroughs a different set of circumstances prevails by reason of the existence of a good public transport service which is available to the district nurses in the course of travel on official business.
