Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

MPs should continue to be permitted to claim for first class train travel for longer journeys where issues of space or privacy in which to work make this appropriate. However, MPs should always ensure that value for money for the taxpayer is provided when making travel arrangements. The audit arrangements should include proportionate checks to ensure that this is happening in practice.
