It is standard practice for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to calculate headcount numbers on the last working day of each month. Therefore, our December 2018 figures are not yet available.
As of the 30th November 2018, the FCO has 4788 (4721 FTE) UK-based staff. As of the 30th June 2016, the FCO had 4331 (4253 FTE) UK-based staff.
