question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what customer, user and satisfaction surveys were conducted in the last 12 months in the Department for Education and the agencies that report to it; which of them have been reported to the management board in the last 12 months; and which were commissioned by the management board.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education uses a range of feedback mechanisms across policy and delivery work to improve the experience of users and customers. Feedback is commissioned by the relevant teams; there is no central coordination of this activity. To collect details of this would incur disproportionate cost. The Department's management board considers papers covering the range of the Department's responsibilities, which reflect the results of the Department's feedback mechanisms.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>This case raises issues of constitutional significance, including upholding Parliament's intentions for the Freedom of Information regime and the Government's ability to protect information in the public interest. Litigation initiated by <em>The Guardian</em> newspaper has taken place over a four year period including hearings in the Upper Tribunal, the High Court, and the Court of Appeal. Eight government departments have had to work together on the Government's response, at a total cost of £274,481.16 (exc VAT). These costs encompass all costs billed by the Treasury Solicitor, including Counsels' fees and disbursements. If we are successful in the next stage of legal proceedings the Government would seek to recover a substantial proportion of these costs from the Guardian.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Beaconsfield answering member printed Mr Dominic Grieve question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 16 label Biography information for Mr Dominic Grieve
