Diplomatic Service: Public Appointments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many overseas diplomatic postings are waiting for a Head of Mission to be appointed.
Answered by Catherine West
Appointments to all Head of Mission roles, including Ambassadors and High Commissioners, are announced after the necessary internal processes have concluded, including approval through His Majesty The King and agreement from the host Government. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office ensures that all diplomatic posts are appropriately staffed, including with interim arrangements in place where necessary.
