Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 10 November 2017 to Question 111090, what estimate he has made of the proportion of higher-rate customer service lines that were transferred to local rate numbers in 2014.

The exercise undertaken in 2014 identified that there were 56 numbers across the organisation that had a higher rate prefix. For all but two of those numbers a local call rate number was established or it was concluded that the number was not in scope for this exercise.
