	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The information required to answer this question is not held centrally, and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Whilst it is safe to say that DFID Staff Members currently loaned to FCO have joint reporting responsibilities between DFID and FCO due to the nature of those relationships, we are unable to provide further information on staff more broadly. Each DFID Employee has one primary reporting line within DFID and it is information about those reporting relationships which is captured centrally. Some staff may have a secondary reporting line in to FCO but such relationships are managed at a local level and, as such, to draw that information from each individual department within DFID would involve disproportionate costs.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/12/2018 17:12:58 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
