The Daily Telegraph has issued a communicé to staff stating their intent to remove alleged 'motion sensors' which were found under journalist's desks yesterday.

The memo follows the publication of a story on Buzzfeed which claimed that the paper had "installed devices to monitor whether journalists are at their desks".

The devices were small, wireless black boxes from company OccupEye that, according to the company's website, provide 'automated workspace utilisation analysis' using heat and motion sensors.

The website reads: "Absorb the cost and scale of nationwide workplace inefficiency to understand the guaranteed OccupEye return on investment".
