To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will place in the Library copies of his Department’s employee surveys for (a) 2002 and (b) 2004. (142026)

The Department undertakes a staff survey approximately every 18 months. The survey is a powerful tool which allows the monitoring of progress across a range of staff-related issues. The survey also enables the Department to compare itself with other UK organisations in both the public and private sector, including high-performing organisations.

The Department completed a survey in 2003 and 2005. The results of these surveys will be placed in the House Libraries.
