However, I am able to provide the following information for core Ministry of Defence Civil Servants.</p><p>Home to work travel allowance has been interpreted as Excess Fares Allowance. This is paid to staff who move from one establishment to another on the Department's instruction. It is normally paid for a maximum period of four years and compensates the officer for additional travel costs they have incurred as a result of the move. The number in receipt of regular Excess Fares Allowance is 1,390.</p><p>Car allowance and subsidised health insurance are not routinely paid. There are, however, four officers in receipt of car allowance and 14 officers in receipt of subsidised health insurance as they retained their terms and conditions following an inward transfer from the private sector under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 22/02/2016 16:29:21 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
