Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many full time equivalent staff (a) make up a full compliment of staff at the British Embassy in Brazil and (b) occupy a role primarily focussed on business relationships and trade at that Embassy.

In March 2023, the headcount number of FCDO staff working at the British Embassy Brasilia was 10-19 FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) UK-based staff and 100-119 FTE country-based staff. These figures do not include staff working at the Embassy employed by the Department of Business and Trade, other government departments or devolved administrations.
