As I set out in my Answer of 10 January, the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) scheme was introduced in 2002 and caters for a wide range of car drivers, taking into account a number of factors. Following the established procedure under successive Administrations, it would not be proper for me to see or comment upon any advice that might have gone to the previous Government as part of the calculation of the AMAPs rate.
