HC Deb 14 December 1979 vol 975 cc784-5W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how much money was recovered during the past 12 months from civil servants who reimbursed his Department following private use of the telephone, in accordance with the Civil Service code of conduct.

Mr. David Mitchell

Recoveries from staff for private telephone charges in London buildings in the past 12 months were approximately £440. It is not possible to provide this detail for all the Department's establishments without a disproportionate amount of staff effort.
