All staff employed by the House of Lords Administration are reimbursed for actual accommodation expenses incurred whilst staying away from home as part of their duties. There is no allowance payable.\u202f The arrangements for reimbursement are in accordance with the Staff Handbook.<\/p>
In most cases, if House staff are required to stay away from home at a UK location, they can claim for their accommodation up to the cost of a room with a bath at a three-star hotel or equivalent.<\/p>
If House staff are required to stay away from home at a location outside the UK, in most cases they are reimbursed the actual cost of accommodation up to the value of the prevailing HMRC-authorised room rates.<\/p>
For staff travelling in connection with Select Committee activity staff usually stay in the same hotel as the members they are accompanying, for which actual accommodation costs are reimbursed.<\/p>
The housing costs of the Brussels-based National Parliament Representative (who supports the work of the House of Lords EU Committee and that of other committees in relation to matters of EU policy) are paid on an invoiced basis.<\/p>
Staff travelling in connection with an international assembly are reimbursed according to the rules of that assembly.<\/p>
Staff living outside London are not entitled to any payment towards costs of accommodation if they choose to stay in London when working.<\/p>
