Chi Onwurah – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chi Onwurah on 2015-02-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what the average number of days training of full-time equivalent staff employed in her Department was in each of the last three financial years.

Mr Desmond Swayne

Responsibility for training in DFID is decentralised to departments and country offices. We do not maintain a central record of the training undertaken by individuals. To gather the information retrospectively would incur disproportionate costs.
