<p>Allowances are not paid to DWP Officials based in offices outside London when they
are required to stay overnight in London on official business. When staff are required
to travel during the course of official business they must do so in accordance with
DWP Business Travel Policies and using DWP travel providers with agreed rates for
hotels. Officials can claim meal subsistence for reimbursement of actual costs incurred
up to specific policy limits and in line with HMRC rules. Where officials have longer
term arrangements for detached duty they can only claim lodging expenses in line with
agreed rates as per policy.</p>
