§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the approximate annual cost to the nearest £100,000 of providing office accommodation and appropriate support services, including telephones, postage, drivers, messengers etc. for a London-based Civil Service Unit consisting of two principals, eight higher executive officers and 25 executive officers.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisThe approximate annual cost of providing office accommodation and appropriate support services for a London-based Civil Service Unit of the kind described by the hon. Member would be £100,000. This figure is based on average expenses across Departments as a whole.
This figure includes telephones, postage, messengers and other support services such as stationery, typing and duplicating but does not include any sum in respect of transport for which figures are not readily available. Drivers are rarely allocated to particular offices. All offices in central London share an inter-departmental delivery service.
