Centre for Management and Policy Studies

HC Deb 22 July 2002 vol 389 cc725-6W

Mr. Gareth Thomas

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office when he will publish the annual report and accounts for the Centre for Management and Policy Studies. [72617]

Mr. Alexander

I have today placed copies of the second annual report and accounts for the Centre for Management and Policy Studies for the year 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002 in the Libraries of the House.

The report and accounts show that financial targets have been met. The quality targets were met, and in some cases, exceeded. The volume targets for participants in training and development were exceeded in the aggregate.

The changes to Cabinet Office announced by Sir Andrew Turnbull, and presently being implemented in advance of his arrival in September, will have a significant effect on CMPS as an organisation.
