HC Deb 16 July 1992 vol 211 c965W
Mr. Sproat

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will set out the objectives of each division and branch of his Department.

Mr. Goodlad

All the individual departments of the diplomatic and aid wings of the Foreign and Commonwealth office, and all our posts abroad—more than 200—set objectives annually. These objectives are framed in the light of the overall objectives for both wings, which are set out in the annual departmental report on the Government's expenditure plans. The report also contains more detailed objectives on the various FCO functions. A copy of the report is available in the Library of the House.
