To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform how many staff in his Department undertook courses funded by the Department for (a) undergraduate degrees, (b) postgraduate degrees or diplomas, (c) Masters degrees, (d) MBA degrees and (e) PhD degrees in the last 12 months, broken down by pay band. (242130)

The Department has devolved the responsibility for funding of relevant courses leading to qualifications to each business area. Identification of the number of staff who have undertaken qualifications in the last 12 months in each pay band would be a disproportionate cost.
