§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will specify what incidental personal expenses are paid to civil servants attending residential training centres.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisCivil servants who attend residential training centres involving free board and lodging receive a personal expenditure allowance of £1.25 per day to cover incidental expenses such as laundry, telephone calls, etc. Senior staff attending the Administrative Staff College and major business schools receive an additional allowance to cover extra expenses which the colleges certify to be inescapable if the officer is to participate fully in the course. These combined allowances range from £1.25-£2.75 depending upon the course. These allowances are reviewed from time to time and will be reviewed later this year.
