Departmental Training

Mr. Baron
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many overseas training courses were attended by her Department’s civil servants in the latest period for which figures are available; how many civil servants attended each course; and what the total cost to the public purse was of each course.

Angela Eagle
The Department does not hold records on the information requested centrally; individual business units retain records locally and as such this information could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
