Decision

Approval for an increase in the mileage rate paid to employees using their own vehicle for business journeys, following an increase in the HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) rates.

Reasons for the decision

As set out in the report of the Assistant Director: HR/OD.

Alternative options considered

Rejecting the increase in mileage rate will involve consultation and negotiation with the trade unions to move away from the agreement to pay the AMAP rate.
