Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, 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.

The majority of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) training budget is delegated to the individual business units. This enables them to target resources to their learning priorities. BIS does not centrally collate details of number of days training undertaken.

To collate this information would incur disproportionate cost.
