§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the booklet which sets out the training programme of executive officers in supplementary benefit offices for the first 10 weeks of their 13 weeks of initial training.
§ Mr. DeanThe booklet which sets out the training programme for executive officers in supplementary benefit offices for the first 10 weeks of the initial training period is a departmental working document and as such unsuitable for publication. A description of the contents of the programme is however set out in paragraphs 36 and 37 of Supplementary Benefits Administration Paper No. 3 "Training of Staff".
§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proportion of executive officers, clerical officers and clerical assistants in supplementary benefit offices have less than, respectively, two years', one and a half years' and one year's experience in their current grade of work.
§ Mr. DeanI regret that the information is not available on a national basis and could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
