HC Deb 25 October 1972 vol 843 c300W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what arrangements have been made for Anglo-German co-operation in the field of Civil Service training.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The Lord Privy Seal recently exchanged letters with the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to establish machinery for joint consultation on training and study visits to each country by civil servants from the other. Training courses have already taken place under these arrangements at the Civil Service College and the Bundesakademie in Bonn. A group of British civil servants returned earlier this month from a course in Bonn.
