Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many jobs in his Department will be created in Scotland at each grade in each year until 2025.

On 15 March 2020, the UK Government announced that 500 FCDO roles will move to the department's existing base in East Kilbride by 2025. The future size and shape of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is yet to be established. This will be determined in coming months through ongoing organisational design work, the outcome of the integrated review, and development of a workforce strategy which will include a roadmap for how we will meet our 2025 target.
