§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for Employment what amount of funds is allocated from his Department's budget for counselling in staff training and improved meeting performances.
§ Mr. John GrantThe information is not available in the form requested. My Department has a departmental training officer and the various parts of the Department of Employment group have staff training managers who provide advice and guidance on training matters, but it is the responsibility of line managers to ensure that their staff receive the training necessary for the efficient performance of their duties and the amount of effort devoted to this will vary according to particular circumstances.
