14. Do we have to include travelling time in calculating the hours over which we have to pay the minimum wage?

Yes if the travelling is done on your business. However, you can exclude travelling between home and work - and that applies even if work is being done well away from your normal work site. You can also exclude rest breaks while travelling, although only if the employee has some choice over how those rest breaks are taken.
