HC Deb 05 July 1982 vol 27 cc41-2W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will ensure that Service men being treated at the Queen Elizabeth military hospital, Woolwich, for injuries incurred in the Falklands campaign are able to telephone their families in other parts of the United Kingdom without incurring substantial personal expense.

Mr. Wiggin

Service men from the South Atlantic admitted for treatment in a military hospital in the United Kingdom are allowed one telephone call to their family at public expense. Non-public funds are available to assist with the costs of subsequent telephone calls, should a Service man be in special need.
