    Details of the generous terms available to Whitehall officials were leaked in an escalation of the increasingly tense relationship between ministers and civil
    servants. A growing number of officials are understood to be working nine-day fortnights by cutting short their lunch breaks and extending normal hours by staying in their offices until 6pm. Civil servants are also allowed to count delays in arriving for work because of late trains or traffic congestion towards their contracted working week.

    Many of these working practices would not be permitted in the private sector, where most people are contracted to work up to 40 hours a week or more. A government source said: "Most Fridays, some departments are like ghost towns. It is a very generous system with hardly any controls."
