Expenses Q1 19/20

The reported expenses include the cost of all travel, accommodation and other costs incurred by the Chief Executive and Commissioners. The variation in travel and accommodation expenses between Commissioners reflects their respective commitments and duties, the range of activities they undertake, the location of their homes and other individual factors. All the Commissioners and the Chief Executive are expected to travel around the UK to some extent.

Rail travel and accommodation are either booked through central agencies or by individuals who then claim the expense back. The cost shown, therefore, is the expenditure incurred by individuals, rather than 'expenses claimed'.

The figures include all expenses incurred during the period 01 April - 30 June, where claims were received by 30 September 2019.
