p11d section N or section M?

Hello experts,
I am a service engineer and travel and stay away from home a lot. My employer gives me an allowance of £110 a night when I stay away to cover the cost of hotels and food. If I dont stay away I get an allowance of 7 pounds a day for lunch and £16.20 for evening meal if i work late. At the end of the year my employer up until now, add all these numbers up and put the total in section M of my p11d form described by them as "business travel and general expenses"

Does anyone know if this is correct? I have had one tax officer say this number should have been in section N and therefore treated differently with regards to tax liability.

Can anybody help me? Thanks very much in advance.
