HC Deb 10 December 1976 vol 922 cc373-4W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what amount of funds is allocated from his Department's budget for counselling in staff training and improved meeting performances.

Mr. Mason

The information is not available in the form requested. My Department has a departmental training officer in both London and Belfast who provides 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.
