Departmental Telephone Services Rob Marris To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills how many 0845 or similar cost telephone numbers are used by (a) his Department and (b) related departmental bodies for public access to services. Mr. Lammy [holding answer 28 January 2008]: Comprehensive information about 0845 and similar numbers is not readily available centrally and to respond fully would involve an extensive information collection exercise which would exceed the recommended disproportionate cost threshold. However, using a variety of information and data sources, I can confirm that the following numbers are in use: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Telephone numbers|Access services | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0845 603 4599 |The UK Intellectual Property Office | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0845 922 2250 |The UK Intellectual Property Office | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0845 950 0505 |The UK Intellectual Property Office | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0111 |Biotech Support | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0112 |Information Society Support | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0113 |NMP Helpline | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0114 |1ST in Manufacturing | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0115 |SME Helpline | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |0870 191 0116 |Beta Technology (Research and Innovation Support).
