§ Mr. Robin F. Cookasked the Minister for the Civil Service (1) what are the comparative tuition, accommodation and subsistence costs per student attending the five weeks' residential course at the Edinburgh Centre of the Civil Service College and the six weeks' non-residential course at the London Centre of the Civil Service College, leading to the National Computing Centre's certificate in basic systems analysis;
(2) what is the cost per student at each of the three centres of the Civil Service College.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisThe cost of training per student-day at each of the three centres of the college is dependent upon the extent to which the college is 279W able to plan courses to utilise the capacity of the training accommodation and the extent to which students in Departments and in non-Exchequer bodies take up the places on the courses which are provided. The college aims to provide courses to utilise to the full the available training accommodation, and, when this can be achieved, the costs per student-day for students from Exchequer Departments, after allowing for the average shortfall in attendance experienced in recent years, are expected to be about £39 for Sunning-dale, £32 for London and £34 for Edinburgh. These costs include not only those for the provision of food and accommodation at the residential centres in Sunningdale and Edinburgh but also the estimated costs borne by Departments for the board and lodging of students needing accommodation in London and the expenses incurred by students in travelling to and from the centres concerned.
The costs above provide a general comparison of the relative costs of training at the London and Edinburgh Centres and, in the case of courses leading to the National Computing Centre's certificate in basic systems analysis, it is estimated that tuition costs account for about £7..50 per student day at each centre.
§ Mr. Robin F. Cookasked the Minister for the Civil Service what are the fees payable by non-Exchequer bodies for attendance at the five weeks' residential course at the Edinburgh Centre of the Civil Service College and the six weeks' non-residential course at the London Centre of the Civil Service College, leading to the National Computing Centre's certificate in basic systems analysis; and
