Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the cost to the public purse has been of his Department hiring additional staff to cover issues related to the UK leaving the EU.
The FCO does not hold the information requested as costs are not accounted for in this way. Further information can be found in the FCO's Annual Report and Accounts. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/foreign-and-commonwealth-office-annual-report-and-accounts-2017-to-2018)
