Probation Service Act 1993

Allowances payable to members

10 (1) A member of a probation committee or probation liaison committee is entitled to receive—

(a) payments by way of travelling allowance where expenditure on travelling is necessarily incurred by him for the purpose of enabling him to perform any of his duties as a member,

(b) payments by way of subsistence allowance where expenditure on subsistence is necessarily incurred by him for that purpose,

(c) payments by way of financial loss allowance where for that purpose he incurs any other expenditure to which he would not otherwise be subject or suffers any loss of earnings or of benefit under the enactments relating to social security which he would otherwise have made or received,

at rates determined by the Secretary of State with the approval of the Treasury.

(2) This paragraph does not apply in relation to a member of a probation liaison committee for an area within the inner London probation area.

11 Without prejudice to the generality of section 25, rules under that section may make provision as to the manner in which paragraph 10 is to be administered and in particular may make provision for—

(a) prescribing the forms to be used and the particulars to be provided for the purpose of claiming payment of the allowances under that paragraph; and

(b) for avoiding duplication between payments under that paragraph and under any other arrangements where expenditure is incurred for more than one purpose, and otherwise for preventing abuses.
