HC Deb 18 February 1987 vol 110 c696W
58. Mr. Burt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has any plans to review the level of commercial representation in British missions abroad.

Mrs. Chalker

Commercial staffing at each post is regularly reviewed by FCO inspectors. In addition, commercial staffing world wide is reviewed annually by FCO's top management and in a joint FCO-DTI market assessment exercise aimed at matching resources with demand from exporters.
