Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many directors with responsibility for human resources are employed across her Department and its executive agencies; and how many of those directors hold professional HR qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development or equivalent professional bodies.

Information on which directors within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and its executive agencies hold professional HR qualifications, including CIPD or equivalent, is not held centrally. Identifying this would require requests across numerous overseas posts and agencies and could only be compiled at disproportionate cost.
