The Commission acknowledges the challenges involved in changing the unique and complex system that serves over 2,200 screens across Parliament and 20 government departments, and commends the House Service for the smooth changeover.

For a number of years the House Service has run comprehensive management skills programmes which over 200 managers have attended. These programmes have been externally verified and offer nationally recognised qualifications for participants who wish to complete additional assignments. Under these schemes, nine managers have achieved a formal qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) since 2010. The House has given support through allowing them time to attend the programme, study leave and fully funding the training and the qualification. During the same period a further six managers have gained management qualifications such as MBAs from externally run programmes. These have all been supported by the House Service through allowing time to attend the programme, study leave and a range of funding from 50% to 100% of course costs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Viscount Thurso"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Thurso"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-22T11:38:57.5113257Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "18"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-10-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Training"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the hon.
