Mr. Mike O'Brien

No civil service or executive agency jobs under the remit of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are located in Scotland.

For non-departmental public bodies, 34 jobs (3.11 per cent.) are located in Scotland. All these were located in Scotland prior to 1997. A further 20 British Council slots will be relocated to Edinburgh between now and summer 2003.
