§ Mr. PawseyTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service what targets he has approved for the Civil Service College for 1991–92.
§ Mr. RentonThe primary target for the Civil Service College executive agency will be to cover its costs from income: planned costs for 1991–92 are £14,476K. Other agreed targets for the college in 1991–92 are:356W
Targets Student days 82,750 Course days 5,465 Students 20,900 Students at grade 7+ 5.501 Number of students in development schemes 4.190 Number of students for formal qualifications 1,980 Number of students from the private sector 450 Percentage of course evaluations in boxes 1 and 2 78 Students per course day at the college's two main sites 16.5 Income from consultancy £130K There is also a target for "cost per student day" which is not published for commercial reasons, and a five-year value for money target. The rating of college services as revealed by a detailed survey of the views of students must increase over the five-year period to 1995 by 10 per cent. more than the real cost of the college's output.
I am arranging for copies of the college's stategic plan for 1991–1995 to be placed in the Libraries of the Houses of Parliament.
