(a)they provide that certain payments made to an employee in respect of travel or accommodation where there has been disruption to public transport caused by strikes or other industrial action are to be disregarded as earnings and that certain payments in respect of travel home by means of hired private transport where an employee occasionally works later than 9p.m. are to be similarly disregarded; and
(b)they provide that certain payments in respect of foreign travel and related expenses, which for the purpose of Schedule E tax are not treated as emoluments of the employment, are to be similarly disregarded as earnings.
