During 2008-09 the Valuation Office Agency's (VOA) Director of National and Central Services claimed 475 individual expenses.
The expenses claimed and paid directly to the individual for 2008-09 totalled £6,632.
All expenses have been counted individually and not totalled for each day of travel or for each, total, claim submitted on the VOA expenses system. For example if a tube, bus and meal allowance has been claimed on the same day this will be counted as three separate expense claims not one.
This sum excludes costs paid direct by the agency's travel providers for hotel accommodation, rail fares etc.
A further detailed analysis of the hotel expense statistics (as supplied by the travel provider) has revealed errors in the way in which the information from the travel supplier was interpreted. This position has now been clarified but, as a consequence, the figures shown on 12 November 2009, Official Report, column 810W, should show the revisions shown in brackets.
