Details
The reported expenses include the cost of all travel, accommodation and other support services for Board Members, Chair and the Chief Executive.
The variation in travel and accommodation expenses between Board Members reflects their respective time commitments and duties, the range of activities they undertake, the location of their homes and other individual factors. All Board Members, Chair and the Chief Executive are required to travel around the UK to some extent.
The Commission has 4 offices in England and Wales - London, Liverpool, Newport (Gwent) and Taunton.
Rail travel and accommodation are booked through central agencies rather than by individuals who then claim the expense back. The costs shown, therefore, is the expenditure incurred by individuals rather than ‘expenses claimed’.
‘Subsistence’ covers allowances payable for significant time out of the office and for overnight stays, at rates agreed with HMRC. A number of Board Members live outside London and therefore incur higher levels of travel expenditure in order for them to attend Board or other meetings that are usually held in London.
