(2) how much funding the Government is providing to the National School of Government in 2009-10;
(3) how much the National School of Government received from each Government Department in payment for courses for their staff in each of the last three years.
This is a matter for the National School of Government. I have asked the principal and chief executive to reply.
Letter from Rod Clark, dated July 2009:
In the Written Ministerial Statement to the House on 9 January 2007 (Official Report Col 5WS), the then Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office (Pat McFadden MP) announced that the National School of Government was now a Non Ministerial Department. Consequently, the Minister for the Cabinet Office has asked me to reply to your Parliamentary Questions about the National School of Government.
The National School has running cost provision in the 2009-10 Main Parliamentary Estimates of £30,395,000 (PQ 283581).
The National School recovers the large majority of its costs from charging for the learning and development and consultancy services that it provides and is expected to earn Appropriations-in-Aid of £30,000,000 in 2009-10. £395,000 net funding is provided to the National School via the Parliamentary Estimate (PQ 283582).
The attached table shows the income that the National School received from government departments including agencies and other bodies in the financial years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 (PQ 283588). The income relates to departments:
1. sending staff on the School’s open programmes that are contained in our portfolio. Latest information on courses and services is available on the National School website:
http://www.nationalschool.gov.uk
2. commissioning the School to run tailored programmes specifically for the department; and
3. consultancy work.
Some of the tailored work commissioned by departments may involve the attendance on programmes of people from outside the department. In particular, the Department for International Development commissions the School to carry out international work as part of the UK aid programme.
