HC Deb 22 December 1976 vol 923 c176W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Lord President of the Council what arrangements he proposes to make to meet the telephone expenses of members of the United Kingdom parliamentary delegations to the Council of Europe and other bodies.

Mr. Foot

Expenses incurred by members of the parliamentary delegation to the Council of Europe, Western European Union and the North Atlantic Assembly in making telephone calls from Westminster to Strasbourg, Paris and Brussels respectively, will in future be reimbursable from public funds, provided such calls are made on United Kingdom parliamentary business.
