HC Deb 17 November 2003 vol 413 cc479-80W
Mr. Flight

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what the total cost was of(a) setting, (b) monitoring and (c) measuring the performance targets for his Department in 2002–03; and how many and what grades of civil servants monitor these targets. [137952]

Mr. Touhig

The setting, measuring and monitoring of Wales Office's performance targets is an integral part of the job of all managers. It is not possible to disaggregate the cost. The Wales Office Management Board regularly reviews targets. It consists of the eight most senior people in the Department. Their grades are 3 (one person), 6 (four people) and 7 (three people).

Mr. Flight

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the performance targets that(a) his Department and (b) its agencies and non-departmental public bodies are required to meet; and if he will specify for each target (i) who sets it and (ii) who monitors achievement against it. [137967]

Mr. Touhig

This information is published in the Wales Office Departmental Report (Cm 5928), copies of which are available in the Library of the House.

The targets are set by Ministers on the advice of the Management Board and are monitored by Ministers and the Management Board.
