Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many full-time equivalent employees are currently employed by (a) his Department and (b) non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department; and how many he expects to be employed next year.
Answered by Catherine West
As of 30 September 2024 there were a) 8266 Headcount / 8131.58 full-time equivalent staff employed by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and b) 1217 Headcount / 1170.98 full-time equivalent staff employed by the non-departmental public bodies of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. I would expect the number of staff employed by both the FCDO and associated non-departmental public bodies to reduce next year in line with workforce savings targets.
