§ Mr. AllenTo ask the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, representing the House of Commons Commission, if he will consider bringing forward plans for induction courses for new hon. Members and in-service training for existing Members in conjunction with the Civil Service college; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael J. MartinI have been asked to reply.
200WDepartments of the House carry out a variety of introductions to their services for new Members. In addition, all Members receive a Members' Handbook describing the services provided by House Departments and other organisations such as the Transport Office, the Post Office and the Gymnasium. If the hon. Member has any specific proposals for induction courses or in-service training, he should bring them to the attention of the Administration Committee.
