| 1 The University will normally only pay an allowance for breakfasts for departures before 7.00am and arrivals after 9.00am, lunches for departures before 12.00 noon and arrivals after 2.00pm, and dinners for departures before 6.00pm and arrivals after 8.00pm. Travellers may not receive an allowance payment for meal expenses where no cost has been incurred, e.g. where meals are provided as part of a flight or as part of the conference registration fee, or where a client pays for the Traveller's meal. Note that the provision of a morning or afternoon tea does not constitute the provision of a meal. 2 The maximum amount able to be paid as an allowance for meal expenses will not exceed the combined total of the reasonable breakfast, lunch and meal allowance rates for which the Traveller is eligible, however the actual apportionment of Expenditure between meals is at the discretion of the Traveller. | ||||||||||
