Details in relation to claims for official mileage submitted by me, as Minster, and by the Minister of State at my Department since March 2011 are outlined in the Tables. It may be noted that each claim is submitted with a signed declaration of mileage undertaken in an official capacity during the period in question and is checked by a senior official before payment is authorised.
