HC Deb 31 January 2000 vol 343 cc422-3W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the national learning targets and the current policies against target for each and all other targets set by his Department. [107539]

Mr. Wicks

[holding answer 28 January 2000]My Department's Public Service Agreement (PSA), published in the Department's Annual Report, sets out its key performance targets. The DfEE Annual Report and the Annual Report of the Employment Service also include other performance-related information. Targets for Agencies and Executive Non-Departmental Public Bodies can be found annually in the Next Steps Report and Executive and Non-Departmental Public Bodies Report on the Stationary Office website. My Department has also published a Strategic Framework to 2002 "Learning and Working Together for the Future", setting out the aim and objectives, targets and supporting policies for that period; and a leaflet, "National Learning Targets for England for 2002", and the publication "National Learning Targets Action Plan", setting out the Government's National Learning Targets to 2002.
