Philip Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2016-02-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many staff in his Department and non-departmental public bodies receive (a) home to work travel allowance, (b) a car allowance and (c) subsidised health insurance.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

There are no staff employed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) who are in receipt of (a) home to work travel allowance, (b) a car allowance and (c) subsidised health insurance. This is also the case for FCO Services, the British Council, Wilton Park Executive Agency, the Westminster Foundation for Democracy and the Great Britain China Centre.

To obtain information for local staff employed directly by our overseas embassies and missions would incur disproportionate cost.
