Diplomatic Service
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how much his Department has spent on (a) relocating diplomatic staff and (b) expanding or purchasing new diplomatic premises and official residences as a result of strategic changes made in light of the UK's decision to withdraw from the EU.
- Answer
-
A number of staff across the FCO work on a range of issues including EU Exit. We continue to keep EU Exit staffing levels under constant review to ensure that they are appropriate to deliver the government's objectives.
We undertake regular reviews of our estate portfolio around the world, ensuring it is fit for purpose. No decisions on diplomatic premises in New York are influenced only by the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
