This is a matter for the National School of Government. I have asked the principal and chief executive to assist by writing to you.

Letter from Rod Clark, dated December 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 of Government's internet website has been re-designed once since 27th June 2007 and was completed by March 2008. The cost was £27,683.
