Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 15 September 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what the (a) date, (b) location, (c) number of attendees and (d) cost to the public purse was for each (i) away day and (ii) team building activity organised for staff in his Department between June 2001 and May 2002.
BIS was formed through a Machinery of Government (MoG) change that occurred in June 2009. The Department was created by merging The Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS). Neither of these two predecessor Departments existed in 2001-02.
The current arrangements within the Department are that these type of events are organised at local level and funded from individual group or directorate budgets. We do not hold a central record of when these activities take place and the respective costs.
