§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current staffing level of entry clearance officers at the British embassy in Addis Ababa.
§ Mr. BaldryThe number of officers currently employed on entry clearance work at the British embassy in Addis Ababa is four. They include the consul and vice-consul, who have other duties in addition to entry clearance work and two full-time entry clearance officers with the effect from 31 December 1994.
There are plans to increase the staffing complement of the section by a further full-time ECO as soon as new 898W offices are completed. This is expected to be in September 1995.
