Departmental Report (Hansard, 24 April 1995)

§ Mr. Matthew Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what measures the Department takes to assess the cost and staff implications of compiling material for the departmental annual report. [20199]

§ Mr. Forth
The production of the departmental report is co-ordinated by the finance and information branches of the Department. Much of the work, however, comprises relatively brief contributions from branches across the Department, This work is submerged in the annual financial planning of individual divisions and is not identified as a separate item in the Department's resource planning exercise.

§ Mr. Matthew Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much staff time, and at what estimated cost, was put into compiling the departmental annual report; and what the figures were for each year for which figures are available since 1990. [20198]
