Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 9 April (HL5959), what progress has been made in identifying and possibly contacting civil servants dismissed from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office as a result of the then-ban on homosexuals serving in the Diplomatic Service.
The Cabinet Office is continuing to review this matter, given the wider implications beyond former Foreign & Commonwealth Office staff, and they will update Parliament on the outcome in due course.
