To ask Her Majesty's Government what surveys of staff employed by the Department for Communities and Local Government are conducted; at what cost; at what time of year; and whether they will place in the Library of the House the results of each such survey held in each of the past five years.

From 2009 the department has been part of the Civil Service annual People Survey which takes place each autumn. The department's cost for the 2012 People Survey will be £25,500 which includes the costs for our executive agencies taking part.

The results of the past five surveys can be found on:http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121108165934/http://www.communities.gov.uk/corporate/about/howwework/corporatereports/reportsaccounts/staffsurvey/ and copies will be placed in the Library of the House.

This year the department has also undertaken a short "pulse" survey which we are still analysing.
