HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 cc1337-8W
Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to the answer of 17 July 2002,Official Report, column 353W, on OCNS, which other Government agencies are used to train OCNS staff; and for what reason the publication of the first annual report from OCNS was not accompanied by a press release. [72603]

Mr. Wilson

[holding answer 23 July 2002]: OCNS staff are given the training which is considered necessary in order to complete their tasks. This training will vary from task to task and from person to person, therefore the agency giving the training will vary' according to the requirement.

It was thought more appropriate for the publication of the OCNS annual report to be placed in the Library of both Houses and to be made generally available on the DTI website.
