I was appointed Minister for Education and Science on 7 May 2008 and I will provide the information requested from that date. The amount of mobile telephone bills paid in relation to the Departmental mobile telephone assigned to me in 2008 to 31st May 2009 (the latest date for which figures are available) is set out in the following table. I can confirm that the telephone costs refer to business calls and that I have an arrangement in place to pay for personal calls, if any, which are made by me.
