HC Deb 15 December 1976 vol 922 c705W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Lord President of the Council what consideration has been given to the devising of less costly methods of carrying out effective and efficient staff training; and whether consideration will now be given to the use of printed material and correspondence courses instead of residential courses.

Mr. Foot

My Department continually endeavours to ensure that the most cost-effective methods are used in the training of its staff, including self-instruction in appropriate circumstances.
