Telephone Facilities (Hansard, 12 June 1990)

§ Sir David Steel
To ask the Lord President of the Council whether he will make it his policy to ensure before 1992 that hon. Members enjoy the same international line telephone facilities to Strasbourg and Brussels which are available to Members of the European Parliament.

§ Sir Geoffrey Howe
The provision of such facilities is under active consideration at present and I hope proposals will be brought before the Services Committee in the near future.

§ Mr. Campbell-Savours
To ask the Lord President of the Council how many hon. Members are provided with telephones in accommodation in London not owned by the state outside the House where the cost of calls arising from the use of that equipment is paid for by public funds.

§ Sir Geoffrey Howe
No hon. Members are provided with such telephones by the authorities of the House.
