Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of the adequacy of Authorised Mileage Allowance Payments in the context of increases in the cost of fuel.
As with all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps the AMAP rate under review. In considering changes to the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) rate, the Government has to balance the responsible management of public finances, which fund our essential public services with support for individuals.
