Diplomatic Posts (Locally Engaged Staff)

HC Deb 12 July 1999 vol 335 cc54-5W

Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the locally engaged staff in the British Embassies or High Commissions in(a) China, (b) Brazil, (c) India, (d) Indonesia, (e) Pakistan and (f) Nigeria who are paid less than the United Kingdom national minimum wage, together with their hourly salary expressed in the Sterling equivalent [90640]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

This information is not held centrally. To obtain it from the diplomatic posts concerned would involve disproportionate cost.
