The below Parliamentary question was asked by Louise Haigh on 2016-06-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proportion of staff in his Department were (a) payroll and (b) non-payroll staff in each financial year from 2010-11 to 2015-16.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

The proportion of Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff who were a) payroll and b) non-payroll in each financial year (taken on 31 March each year) from 2012-13 to 2015-16 is listed below. We are unable to provide the requested information for 2010 – 11 and 2011 – 12 because non-payroll data is not available for those years. We are unable to confirm the figures for 2015-16 until the 2015-16 Accounts have been signed off and the National Audit Office has completed its audit.
