- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what account was taken of potential cost savings within the existing system for foreign language teaching before the decision was made to outsource the operation.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 21 June 2007]: Potential cost savings within the existing system for foreign language teaching were considered, including organising more group training, more intensive courses and more training overseas; but it was concluded that these changes could only support the conclusion of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Services review that maintaining a large permanent teaching workforce in London was not viable.
