Departmental Training

Mr. Philip Hammond
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much (a) his Department and (b) its agencies spent on away days in the last 12 months; and what the (i) subject and (ii) location of each away day was.

Mr. Woolas
The Home Office accounting system does not separately identify expenditure on staff away days. To provide the requested detail would incur disproportionate cost.
