HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c302W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Minister for the Civil Service if he will list the criteria on which the Civil Service college arranges sessions for new members of the Civil Service.

Mr. Luce

Most induction training for civil servants is carried out by Departments for their own staff. College courses are designed to meet the needs of particular groups of more senior staff, administration trainees and professional groups of whom there are only a few new entrants in any one Department each year.
