HC Deb 21 March 2002 vol 382 c495W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many staff are employed in the Centre for Management and Policy Studies; what their roles are; and what liaison they undertake with other Departments. [43118]

Mr. Leslie

366 staff are employed in the Centre for Management and Policy Studies (CMPS). This figure includes 261 staff from the Civil Service College which ceased to be an executive agency on 1 April 2000 and now is a directorate of CMPS.

The staff in CMPS work with other units in the Cabinet Office and Departments to help government to learn better, ensure that the civil service is cultivating the right skills and culture for effective delivery, and promote new ways of developing and delivering policy through the sharing of knowledge and evidence from here and abroad.

CMPS is also the largest single provider of open training programmes for Government.
