Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to hold centrally the data on the details of internships within each Government Department.
Data is held centrally for corporate internship schemes. These consist of: The Whitehall Internship Programme for Year 9 & 12 school pupils and; the Summer Diversity Internship Programme for penultimate & final year undergraduates. From spring 2015, Civil Service Resourcing will also be running the Early Diversity Internship Programme for first year undergraduates.
Data for other internships offered by individual departments will continue to be held by the relevant department.
