HC Deb 14 December 1979 vol 975 c798W
Mr. Wheeler

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

Mr. Mayhew

The sum of £294.62 was recovered during the past 12 months from civil servants who reimbursed my Department for the cost of private telephone calls made on official telephones in our headquarters offices. The cost of extending the inquiry to local offices would be disproportionate.
