Language Lessons (2021)
Request
Please could I be supplied with any information held about MPs’ attendance of funded language lessons over the past three years.
Could this be broken down as far as possible by named MP to state how many of the booked lessons they actually attended.
Response
Some information is held by the House of Commons in relation to your request.
We hold information about the Members who have booked language lessons through the House of Commons, the number of hours of lessons they have booked with us and the number of hours which they have cancelled at short notice. Hours which are counted as late cancellations if they are cancelled at less than 48 hours’ notice, as per the policy of our two providers.
We hold this information going back to the start of the 2020/21 financial year.
‘Hours this period’ refers to the number of hours of lessons they have booked with us while ‘LC Hrs this period’ refers to the number of hours they have cancelled at short notice.
