Grant Shapps MP:

To ask the Leader of the House if she will place in the Library a copy of the results from her Department's most recent staff survey; which organisation carried out the survey; and what the total cost of the survey was.

Barbara Keeley MP:

The Office of the Leader of the House of Commons joined the Cabinet Office in 2007.

The Cabinet Office will publish the October 2009 people survey results on their website in February 2010. Following publication they will place a copy of the results in the Library.

The supplier of the Cabinet Office October 2009 people survey was ORC International who were procured by the Department to deliver the first cross-civil service people survey. The people survey replaced all existing staff surveys in the civil service with a single questionnaire.

The cost of the Cabinet Office survey will be £30,550.

By procuring a single supplier for people surveys in 2009-10 the civil service has saved 35 per cent. on the total cost of staff surveys in 2008-09.
