HC Deb 20 March 2002 vol 382 c382W
Mr. Jenkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many members of staff of his Department are members of the Territorial forces; and if he has a strategy to encourage members of staff to become members of the Territorial forces. [44068]

Mr. Bradshaw

The number of staff in the FCO who are members of the territorial forces is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

The FCO supports staff who wish to serve in the reserve forces and allows them paid time off work to take part in these activities.
