Answer: Mr. Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimates she has made of the cost to her Department of unauthorised personal calls made by members of staff to (a) domestic numbers and (b) international numbers in the last year for which figures are available. [200888] Mr. Caborn: As my Department is part of the Government Telecommunications Network (GTN), it pays a set fee per annum per extension number, regardless of how many calls are made. Therefore there are no additional costs incurred as a result of personal calls.
