The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Bradshaw on 2015-02-12.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Bradshaw on 2015-02-12.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the voting protocol for their proposed stakeholder working group on off-road recreational motor vehicles; and what is the proposed timetable for the group to report its findings to ministers and for the ensuing public consultation.
Lord De Mauley
The proposed stakeholder working group on off-road recreational motor vehicles will not need to establish a voting protocol as it will deliver a report stating, if necessary, where there are differences of opinion, or where there is no consensus. It will then be for Ministers to decide what proposals in the report to take forward.
We will set a target timeframe of 18 months for the group to report to Ministers and a public consultation will follow afterwards.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chi Onwurah on 2015-02-12.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average number of days training of full-time equivalent staff employed in his Department was in each of the last three financial years.
Esther McVey
The below figures relate to e-learning, the events delivered via Civil Service Learning and the learning days delivered by DWP Operations. It should however also be noted that additional development activity would have been undertaken which is not captured here, as well as the fact that Civil Service Learning was not created until 1st January 2012.
The average number of days training of full-time equivalent staff employed by the Department in each of the last three financial years is as follows:
|
Total training days |
FTE |
Average No. training days |
|
|
Apr 11 – Mar 12 |
310,239.48 |
88,626.40 |
3.5 |
|
Apr 12 – Mar 13 |
253,658.21 |
85,129.22 |
3.0 |
|
Apr 13 – Mar 14 |
261,155.88 |
83,941.67 |
3.2 |
The decrease in training days after 2011/12 is partly explained by the formation of CSL in 2012, which led to a rationalisation of the number of learning events to provide better focussed high quality events more targeted to specific learning needs and organisational requirements. The establishment of a common curriculum of products for learning provision across the Civil Service through CSL reduced duplication and overlap between courses and a more blended approach led to more learning activity taking place through E learning and other interventions rather than a classroom based solution.
