Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many United Kingdom based staff and locally engaged staff are employed in the British High Commission in Pakistan; and what is the total annual running cost for 1977–78.

Mr. Tomlinson

There are 70 United Kingdom-based and 93 locally-engaged staff employed at the British embassy in Pakistan who are borne on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Vote. The total annual running cost for 1977–78 is £1.14 million, which relates to expenditure borne by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office together with relatively small expenditure borne by Her Majesty's Stationery Office and by the Property Services Agency for certain accommodation provided overseas.
