HC Deb 05 May 1977 vol 931 c231W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council what arrangements exist for reimbursing Members of Parliament who have to telephone Ministerial offices on their parliamentary business from their homes and other places.

Mr. Foot

The cost of telephone calls made by Members of Parliament from home and other places to ministerial offices on parliamentary business may be claimed as an expense for relief against their tax assessment.
