No worries. It must be my day for e-mail weirdness, as the e-mail system 
here just marked my reply to your earlier message as spam, so double 
postings fit right in.

Anyway, you can do something like this:

<xsl:template match="para1">
  <p><xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., 'The Department 
seeks')"/><br/>The Department seeks<xsl:value-of 
select="substring-after(., 'The Department seeks')"/></p>
</xsl:template>

Sorry to post twice, I've indicated with a "<br/>".

<para1>

The Department values the views of business, consumer groups and the
public. We know that we will get it right delivering policy if we have 
consulted
effectively.  <br/><br/> The Department  seeks views on a range of 
proposals 
and
existing policies, both through formal written consultations and through
informal contact and discussion. We use a variety of consultation methods
to ensure participation from a diversity of individuals and
organisations/business.

</para1>

Thanks Craig.
