HC Deb 19 April 2004 vol 420 c302W
Mr. Stephen O'Brien

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the(a) resource budget, (b) administration costs and (c) staff numbers were for 2003 of the Public Service Employers Forum. [165123]

Mr. Alexander

The Public Service Employers' Forum brings together around 15 senior employers from across the public sector to share good practice on pay and workforce reform in order to improve the delivery of public services. It meets quarterly and is supported by 0.3 Full time equivalent member of staff provided by the Office of Public Services Reform. Additional administration and resource costs in 2003 were minimal as meetings were generally held within the Cabinet Office and those attending did so on a voluntary basis.
