Diplomatic Service: Staff
(asked on 15th December 2020) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 14 December 2020 to Question 126853 on Diplomatic Service: Staff, how many UK overseas diplomatic posts there are in each FCDO headcount band.
For security reasons, the FCDO provides headcount detail in bands. The FCDO was formed on 2nd September 20, with Legacy Departments continuing to use legacy systems for recording staff in the interim. People in former DFID roles are recorded at Country level with no ability to report at Post level currently available. Therefore the data provided contains former FCO headcount only.
As at 31 October 2020, the number of Diplomatic Posts in each headcount band is set out as follows:
Headcount Band | No. of Posts with a UKB headcount in the band |
Fewer than 10 | 166 |
10-19 | 34 |
20-29 | 11 |
30-39 | 7 |
40-49 | 1 |
120-139 | 1 |
Data does not include Posts where there is no UK-Based presence.
