Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what plans his Department has to include worker representation on its departmental board.
The FCO's Departmental Board (the Supervisory Board) does not have worker representation.
The FCO's monthly Management Board has a long-standing tradition of inviting staff from the UK and overseas to observe each meeting. The FCO also has a representative from seniority band attending its recently established Staff Engagement Committee. Views from the Committee will be represented at the Management Board.
