In case there should be any confusion over the operation outlined in Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 9/DK.7.9.41. this is to confirm that this procedure does not apply to Home to Works mileage, but only to mileage done on the Company's behalf. With regard to the Home to Works Petrol coupons, any member of the Company may be asked to account for the coupons that he has used during any month. It is in his own interest to keep a log of mileage. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Circulated | ||
