Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Training

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 28 April 2026UIN 128647

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish a list of training programmes used by civil servants in her Department since 2020.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

A list of training undertaken via the Civil-Service Learning Frameworks from January 2023 to March 2026, and course descriptors, are available via the Prospectus Online. Training data relating to the period prior to January 2023 is not accessible to the department.

Training delivered internally or procured by the department outside of the Central Government Learning Frameworks over the last five years is not centrally available, and to obtain this information would result in disproportionate cost to the department; therefore this will not be published.
