answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2016 answer text <p>The Department, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies are committed to developing their staff and equipping them with the skills and knowledge to carry out their work. Away-days, other similar team-based development activities and very occasional residential training all make a contribution to such development. This type of development activity is typically arranged by individual teams within the Department, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies. No central records of these events are held, and to collect this information would incur disproportionate costs.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 23/05/2016 10:30:50 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
