Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proportion of senior civil servants from his Department are from a lower socio-economic background.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2015
Information on the socio-economic background of all our staff is not centrally held and to compile it would incur disproportionate cost.
The FCO takes part in a number of schemes to encourage applicants from a lower socio-economic background.
