Payments for mileage expenses are made on the basis of a monthly claim stating the number of kilometres travelled. A declaration in respect of each claim is signed by each Minister certifying that the mileage claimed for was undertaken in relation to his Office. The basis on which Ministers record their mileage does not require them to list individual trips and such information is not available.
