§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what amount of funds is allocated from his Department's budget for counselling in staff training and improved meeting performance.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI attach importance to training members of the Diplomatic Service in these and related aspects of good management practice. Such training is an integral part of a variety of training courses run by my training department. In addition, selected officers attend appropriate courses at the Civil Service College and other outside institutions. It is not practicable to compile detailed figures for the cost of only one element of an integrated programme for training staff with management responsibilities.
