Senior Whitehall officials from 10 Government departments and agencies attended exclusive "training courses" laid on by Shell over two days at its London headquarters, according to documents released by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) following a freedom of information request (FOI).
The documents show that in June this year and last, "30-40 mid to senior-level civil servants" attended the two-day "Shell energy course for Whitehall", laid on at the energy giant's expense at its UK head office on London's South Bank.

In responding to the FOI request, DECC said the course was designed to give civil servants an "understanding of the energy industry in the UK and internationally". It added: "The production of and markets for energy in a carbon constrained world were the main themes [of the course]. The programme is an opportunity for DECC staff to hear the views of Shell on the oil and gas industry, meet colleagues and counterparts from other Government departments and exchange views on the industry and Shell's activities."
