18. From: Stephen Humphreys tsh@aber.ac.uk Travel & subsistence expenses rates for use on University business Details of new rates from March 1st 2012 are available from the Finance Office web site : http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/finance-office/information-for-staff/travel/

This change was brought in without any notice, consultation or justification. The effect has been to reduce the 40p rate so that instead of covering the first 200 miles, it now covers only the first 100 miles, before dropping to 20p/mile. It is now suggested that a hire car be used for journeys over 100 miles which may be impractical for many staff.

We want to know the feelings of staff regarding this change, so if the change affects you, or you would like to have your views on this change represented to management, please email with your views on one of the email addresses below.
